If the Lions truly let go of Tony Oden, I consider that strike 2 against Patricia's staff choices. Brian Callahan is a little bit offset by JBC, but Kocurek and Oden are legitimately 2 of the best position coaches in the NFL.

This is the stuff I like to read. Well done Coach Gase.

This makes me happy :)

This sounds like a very good appointment.

im excited for him AND new defensive line coach Kris Kocurek who worked with Suh and usually coached a good-very good DL there...maybe we can lure Ansah over, cut Branch, and throw him in the rotation? I do love Wake and still think he can ball but not at the same elite All Pro level anymore, but still very good IMO...

We are stuck with Branch (and his $10M cap hit) for another year. He was a broken Branch last year (sorry) so hopefully he will at least return to form of 2016. He had surgery today.

New #Dolphins DB's coach Tony Oden's secondaries have ranked in the NFL’s top 5 in INT's in 3 of his past 5 seasons (2013-14, 2017).

Smart move by Gase and the FO.

Like what I'm hearing lately.

According to my Dolphins Organization Chart we still have 3 coaching positions to fill.

Offense: Assistant Wide Receivers Coach
Defense: Assistant Defensive Backs Coach
Athletic Training: Head Athletic Trainer

The new Head Athletic Trainer has three assistants:
Two - Assistant Athletic Trainers
One - Assistant Athletic Trainer/Physical Therapist

I have no idea if these assistants will or will not be replaced by whomever becomes our new Head Athletic Trainer.

DC Burke knows these guys and hired them with Gase's blessing. 4-2-5 defence with some dime.
