Newly minted Miami Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley joined ESPN personality Peter Schrager on Tuesday afternoon to talk his journey in the National Football League that now includes a little over a week as the head-man-in-charge of the South Florida franchise.
The two discussed various topics, but eventually landed on the retention of Bobby Slowik on Miami’s staff — and his promotion to offensive coordinator of the Dolphins.
“Bobby and I were together in San Francisco. At the time… Bobby was on the defensive side of the ball… Bobby was in my office all the time talking football, and I left to go be the coordinator at Ohio State… [Kyle Shanahan] steals Bobby to go on offense and look at what Bobby did there. Bobby kind of climbed through his ranks… Bobby [did] such a good job there.”
Hafley continued, “When I get the job — I’m still in touch with Bobby, because regardless of where I go, Bobby is still on my list. And it just kind of worked out that he’s here. He doesn’t have to move. My relationship with him — what he does schematically is really what I want to do. Knowing the type of person he is… You want to talk about an unbelievable person. That’s so important to me. Just a guy I trust — I love what he does, and it’s really worked out well for both of us.”
