Denver’s Loss Is Miami’s Gain: Dolphins Hire Mike Nolan As Coordinator

Mike Nolan is spending little time in the unemployment line. Shortly after resigning from the Broncos Monday night, it was reported that the Dolphins were already planning to interview him. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, before Nolan even left Denver, Miami had already put in a request to interview the defensive coordinator. Dolphins fans, particularly those at our team blog, The Phinsider, are understandably excited.

As for Nolan’s former team, the Broncos are already rumored to be interested in former Patriots’ defensive coordinator, Dan Pees, who just stepped down last week. That move would reunite Pees and head coach Josh McDainels.

After just one season in Denver, defensive coordinator Mike Nolan has resigned from his position, reports the Denver Post. Nolan offered a brief comment, saying, “I can’t say anything other than Josh and I mutually agreed to part ways.”

Jay Glazer of FOX Sports was the first to break this news.
