McDaniel did not fire Crossman because he knew the Dolphins' struggles on kick/punt coverage were more of an organizational problem than a Crossman one. After 20 years in the league and with some top 10 units at other places, Crossman did not suddenly forget how to coach STs. The team did not allot enough practice time devoted to kick and punt coverage. This was reported by one of the local media writers as the staff changes were taking place. Hopefully, this means McDaniel will see to it they use more practice time on the coverage units.
It’s rare these days for this place to surprise me.
I did not have “Somebody carrying water for the special teams coach” on my 2024 FinHeaven off-season BINGO card.
