The Miami Dolphins are hiring Bobby Slowik to serve as the team’s new offensive coordinator, according to a report from Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN. The move brings one of the NFL's most respected young offensive minds to South Florida to lead a unit featuring some of the league's most explosive playmakers.
Slowik makes the move to the Dolphins following a standout tenure as the offensive coordinator for the Houston Texans. In Houston, Slowik gained league-wide acclaim for his role in the historic rookie season of quarterback C.J. Stroud. Under his guidance, the Texans transformed into one of the NFL's most efficient passing offenses, capturing an AFC South division title and securing a dominant Wild Card round victory.
The hire reunites Slowik with Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel. The two previously worked together on the San Francisco 49ers coaching staff under Kyle Shanahan. This familiarity with the Shanahan-style wide-zone scheme is expected to allow Slowik to integrate quickly into Miami's existing structure while adding the creative wrinkles that defined his success in Houston.
Before his rise in the coaching ranks, Slowik served in various roles including offensive assistant and passing game coordinator. His addition as an external hire is seen as a major win for the Miami Dolphins as they look to take the next step in the postseason. Official confirmation from the team is expected shortly.
