Dolphins name Jeff Nixon their RB Coach & Darren Krein their Head Strength Coach

Whew! I was hoping we would get one of them two, not in my wildest dreams did I think we could land both of them............Who are they?
 
The Dolphins added a couple of assistants today: Running backs coach Jeff Nixon and strength coach Darren Krein, moving quick to fill voids.

Nixon, the new running backs coach, spent 2007-2010 as Eagles' special teams quality control coach. Krein has been in Seattle since 1997.

Seriously we are now bashing the hirings of the running backs coach and strength coach? Can the Dolphins make any moves without people criticizing it?
 
Here's Nixon
http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/eagles_files/html/coach_nixon_1.html
PLayed RB at both West Virginia and PSU in the Mid 90's. Started his coaching career in college as RB coach at Princeton (2 years after graduating), then at Shippensburg and Tennessee Chattanooga, before being an assistant for Al Golden at Temple in 2007. He's been with Philly since

Here's Krein

Former All-Conference Performer for the Miami Hurricanes. Former 4th round draft pick of the Chargers but never played due to injuries (did play in World Football League with the Barcalona Dragons). As the assistant S&C coach in Seattle since 2001, he is given the most credit in helping Matt Hasselback develop physically into the QB he was for most of the decade.

I don't think that was bashing, I think it was more of a "ok where did they come from?"
 
Has Krein call Vernon Carey yet to get his Fat Arsh on a diet and in the gym!

Not as long as we have the same idiots at the top. In reality Im not sure why we fired the runningbacks coach since the OL bares more of the blame.

:lol:

Nixon apparently has experience with the Wing T, which is what they ran at one of his stops (Shippensberg, I beleive). He has a coaching video, too, starring John Kuhn.

I also found two podcasts featuring him, in case anyone cares about this sort of thing. His are #9 and #10. #10 is on the next page from this link:

Once again, if anyone cares. Not sure I even do, even though I certainly think we needed better coaching for the RBs. Among other things the play action fundamentals were terrible.
