The Miami Dolphins are continuing to fill out Mike McDaniel’s coaching staff, and the newest addition is one that fans of the team will be familiar with.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, former Dolphins cornerback Sam Madison is joining the staff as the team’s cornerbacks coach and pass game specialist. The move is to fill the void left by cornerbacks coach Charles Burks, who was originally reported to be staying in Miami but is now joining the Cincinnati Bengals.
Madison was a second-round pick of the Dolphins back in 1997 and played nine seasons with the team before finishing out his career with the New York Giants. As a player, he was a four-time Pro Bowler, two-time First-Team All-Pro, two-time Second-Team All-Pro, and a Super Bowl champion.
The 47-year-old has spent the last three seasons as the secondary/cornerbacks coach for the Kansas City Chiefs. During his tenure, the Chiefs made it to the Super Bowl twice and won it once.
Miami lost a well-respected coach in the secondary this offseason, so if there were any worries about how players feel about Madison, All-Pro safety Tyrann Mathieu calmed those feelings.
So happy for coach & his family!!! Dolphins are getting a real one!! Player perspective & technique guru. He’s gonna be the same guy everyday!! https://t.co/98CIpaRYWn
