Dolphins to hire former Titans OLB coach for the same role in Miami

Miami adds another defensive coach to their staff.

The Miami Dolphins, after hiring Anthony Weaver to be their new defensive coordinator, are continuing to build out their defensive coaching staff before the start of the new league year in March.

According to the MMQB’s Albert Breer, the Dolphins are hiring Ryan Crow as outside linebackers coach.

Crow had been with the Tennessee Titans since 2018, holding defensive assistant (2018-19), assistant special teams coach (2020) and outside linebackers coach (2021-23) roles during his time with the team. He was let go after Tennessee decided to fire head coach Mike Vrabel.

During his time with Titans, there was some crossover with Dolphins David Long, who played for Tennessee from 2019-22.

Crow will be taking over for Ryan Slowik, who was a candidate for Miami’s defensive coordinator job. According to the South Florida Sun Sentinel’s David Furones, Slowik will remain on the staff but in a different role.
