The Miami Dolphins are hiring Frank Smith from the Los Angeles Chargers as their offensive coordinator, NFL Network reported Monday.
Smith just completed his first season with the Chargers as offensive line coach/run game coordinator after working as a tight ends coach with the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders (2018-20) and Chicago Bears (2015-17). He worked as an assistant offensive line coach with the New Orleans Saints from 2010-14.
With Smith on the staff, the Chargers finished fourth in the NFL in total offense and fifth in scoring offense during the 2021 season.
New Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said during his introductory press conference this week that he plans to call the offensive plays.
McDaniel has filled all three of his coordinator positions after retaining Josh Boyer as defensive coordinator and Danny Crossman as special teams coach.
