The Miami Dolphins will ride with two offensive coordinators in 2021.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday that the Dolphins are raising Eric Studesville and George Godsey as offensive co-coordinators, according to informed sources.
It is not clear at this stage how the appeal game will be stopped, but the Dolphins felt that Studesville and Godsey were strong internal candidates to take the place of Chan Gailey.
Rapoport added that the new coach of the Dolphins’ defenders, Charlie Frye, would work directly with the QBs, including Tua Tagovailoa. The college’s former OC will also have some contribution to the offensive vision, as Miami plans to mix NFL and university style concepts.
Studesville was the Dolphins’ running back trainer and racing game coordinator last season. He has been an RB coach for a long time since joining the NFL with the Chicago Bears in 1997. Studesville has also trained with the New York Giants, Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos. He was the Broncos’ acting coach in 2010 for four games after Josh McDaniels was fired.
Godsey has been listed as Miami’s tight end coach for the past two seasons. Rapoport noted that Godsey moved to help quarterbacks last season. He has worked extensively with QBs in the past, being a QB coach from Detroit in 2018 and Houston in 2014. Godsey was Texans OC in 2015-2016.
