Jim Reid left his job as VMI football coach Wednesday to join the staff of the Miami Dolphins.
Reid, 57, has been VMI's head coach for two seasons (2-9 in 2006, 1-10 in 2007), and also was the University of Richmond's head coach 1995-2003. Reid led the Spiders to a pair of Atlantic 10 Conference titles and two appearances in the Division I-AA playoffs.
With the Dolphins, Reid will work under new defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni. Pasqualoni was Syracuse's head coach in 2004, when Reid ran that program's defense. The Dolphins new head coach is Tony Sparano.
