Pitt secondary coach Renaldo Hill headed to the Dolphins per source.

The Dolphins have hired Renaldo Hill to the coaching staff. Hill was last with the Dolphins in 2008, the last time Miami won a hat and t-shirt for finishing first in the AFC East.

Renaldo Hill played at Michigan State during the years that Adam Gase was a scouting assistant under Nick Saban. He played corner in college and flipped to safety mid-way through his NFL career. Recently, he was on the Pitt Panthers staff.

Following national signing day, Pitt’s offseason of turnover on the sideline continues.

Renaldo Hill, Pitt’s defensive backs coach the past three seasons under Pat Narduzzi, has left the staff and will take a position with the Miami Dolphins, according to a source. The news was first reported by Panther-Lair.com.

Hill is now the third assistant coach to depart since the end of the season, joining defensive coordinator Josh Conklin — now head coach at Wofford — and offensive line coach John Peterson. All three were members of Narduzzi’s original staff at Pitt.

For Hill, his next move is a return to the pro ranks. He was a 2001 NFL draft pick and played in the league until 2010, spending three of those years with the Dolphins.

Narduzzi sent out a tweet expressing his support Thursday morning.

Now that’s a blast from the past. He was very underrated as a player. Glad he’s found a home back in Miami as an assistant coach. My brother and I were huge Renaldo Hill fans back in the day.
 
Good addition. Hoops hit the nail on the head. Add him as asst DB coach with his smarts then it’s a win win.
 
I am a Pitt fan, and the one thing you would have to question about that team was the secondary. They didn't have a great pass rush so the DB's had to cover a little more. The main issue with the DB's for Pitt is they wouldn't turn there head and go for the ball. Many times if the DB just looked, he could have had a pick instead of giving up a huge pass. The other issue is that they would get burned a lot on deep passes. The games that the Pitt D played well had more to do with the QB missing his target instead of great D play. If you look at the Univ of Miami game, Pitt won because the Miami QB couldn't even get the ball close to the WR. The plays were there, the QB couldn't execute. Hopefully the issues that Pitt had was more to the type of D they ran than the way the DB's were coached and played.

Appreciate the insights from Pitt.
