Well this is the first move that McD made that I don't understand. Head scratcher to say the least!

Dolphins Keep Offensive Line Coach Lemuel Jeanpierre on the Staff - Miami Dolphins

Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald is reporting that Mike McDaniel is keeping current Dolphins offensive line coach Lemuel Jeanpierre on his staff as the assistant offensive line coach for next year. Last week the Dolphins hired Matt Applebaum from Boston College to be their next offensive line...

Assistant OL coach.


Nothing more.

I totally agree, this is a head scratcher. Typically a head coach will retain one assistant coach to give him the skinny on the players and temperature of the locker room. Maybe he is it ....... although he was TERRIBLE as an OL coach and clearly not ready for this. Hopefully we will not be using the same system as we did under him.

McDaniel has done very well building his staff.

This is the least of my concerns.

 

[CedarPhin]

Yep. Time to fire McDaniel I think.

 

[BROGS]

That is strange for sure. Maybe so new coaches have insight on what not to teach our o line?

 

[BenchFiedler]

Or maybe very possible that Flores was a problem for the team. His DC Boyer and several assistants were kept on both defense and offense.

Not too hard to figure this one out

Assistant OL coach. That's a demotion lol he might be a bright guy who needs better teaching. He might be really good at communicating to players but bad at teaching his own technique.

We will see.

We're screwed...asst OL coaches historically correlate with super bowl wins.

 

[circumstances]

probably has a bright future and was in over his head at this point in his career.

Hard to understand why you would keep a coach on staff who was quite possibly the worst OL coach in the history of the franchise. The OL was a laughingstock. I'd have thought McD would have done everything possible to distance himself and the team from that embarrassment. Disappointing yes, but right now McD gets the benefit of the doubt...

They didn't want to lose their peace treaty with the French.

Maybe just maybe after McDaniel interviewed him he saw something he could salvage.
