The Miami Dolphins have a new offensive coordinator.
Bobby Slowik, who previously held the title of senior passing game coordinator with the Dolphins in 2025, has been promoted to the team’s offensive coordinator position, per Ian Rapoport on X.
Slowik has two seasons of experience as an NFL offensive coordinator, working for the Houston Texans in 2023 and 2024. Slowik was widely credited for then-rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud’s record-breaking season in 2023. That season, Stroud threw for 4,108 passing yards, 23 touchdowns, just five interceptions, and boasted a completion percentage of 63.9% and a passer rating of 100.8. Stroud set many records that year on his way to winning Offensive Rookie of the Year, most notably the most consecutive pass attempts to start a career without an interception (192), and the most passing yards in a single game by a rookie (470).
However, Stroud and the Texans offense took a dip in 2024, dropping from 12th to 22nd in total yards, and 13th to 19th in total points. The Texans offensive line was particularly poor that season, and Slowik’s lack of variety in play calling (run on 1st down, run on 2nd down, pass on 3rd down) was criticized. Slowik and Stroud also did not see eye-to-eye, per many reports.
As a result, Slowik was fired.
Slowik then joined the Dolphins in 2025, as the team’s senior passing game coordinator, working under offensive coordinator Frank Smith and head coach Mike McDaniel. Last season, the Dolphins ranked bottom-10 in the NFL for passing yards, passing touchdowns, and interceptions.
But, with McDaniel fired, and Smith soon to follow, the offensive coordinator job is now Slowik’s. Slowik will most definitely call the plays on offense, as head coach Jeff Hafley calls the plays on defense.
