Chargers’ Pep Hamilton among Dolphins offensive coordinator candidates

The work with Justin Herbert is being recognized.

After Chan Gailey resigned following the 2020 regular season, the Dolphins are looking for a new offensive coordinator.

According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, Chargers quarterbacks coach Pep Hamilton is among the six candidates for the job.

Hamilton is also in consideration for the Seahawks offensive coordinator position.

Hamilton is being considered for a higher position after his work with quarterback Justin Herbert, who’s the front-runner for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Hamilton also has prior experience at both the college and NFL level, working with other notable quarterbacks like Andrew Luck, Chad Pennington and Jay Cutler.

Hamilton also was head coach and general manager in 2020 of the D.C. Defenders of the XFL.
