Dolphins Coaching Rumors; Chad Johnson?

The past week has been a busy one for the Dolphins organization. They've hired a slew of assistant coaches already, and were being linked to a pair of Saints coaches over the weekend. One, special teams coach John Bonamego, has accepted their offer. The other, Pete Carmichael Jr., now looks like he won't be leaving New Orleans to be our offensive coordinator. Don't ask me what happened with Dan Henning, because I have no idea.

As a potential replacement for Carmichael, who was supposed to be pretty close to taking the job (as was Henning, so that shows how much rumors are worth), the Fins are interviewing Atlanta coordinator Hue Jackson.

The Jackson interview is interesting first because Atlanta's offense wasn't exactly a powerhouse last season, though to be fair the personnel they had out on the field would be hard to work with for even the most innovative playcallers. But more importantly, as PFT mentions, it might fuel speculation about Chad Johnson being traded to the Dolphins. Jackson served as Chad's WR coach throughout most of his career and a reunion would be an good thing for everyone involved.

You might recall I made a note of Chad's potential interest in leaving Cincinnati for Miami a few weeks ago. Then I doubted the possibility of such a move being made. I still doubt it. However, these recent developments can't be dismissed. A talent like Chad Johnson would certainly be a welcome addition to this team. It would take a lot of pressure off John Beck and it would give Ted Ginn room to run around and grow as a WR.
