Miami Dolphins inside linebackers coach George Edwards has resigned to become defensive coordinator at the University of Florida.
It’s the second time this week that a Dolphins linebackers coach has quit to become a college defensive coordinator. On Monday Dolphins outside linebackers coach Jim Reid left to take the coordinator job at Virginia.
Edwards has coached in Miami since 2005, when Nick Saban hired him. He has also been an assistant for the Cowboys, Redskins and Browns.
If he hadn’t taken the Florida job, Edwards likely would have been considered for the Giants’ defensive coordinator position.
With the Dolphins now in need of someone to coach the linebackers, Mike Berardino of the Sun-Sentinel speculates that former Virginia and New York Jets head coach Al Groh could be getting a call. Our own Mike Florio noted when Virginia fired Groh that he could end up with the Dolphins in 2010.
Groh would be a great addition since the LBs sucked azz this year. A big part of that is personnel but the coaching cannot have been good. Makes you wonder if these guys were asked to find other jobs and were not fired as a nicety.
Maybe now Wake will get his downs like he should have all year.
They should ask Pasqualoni to move on too and replace him with someone who has isn’t an Olivadotti wannabe. Romeo Crennel comes to mind.
What reason did Florio have to think that Groh would be headed to the Fins?
and…………
Maybe he got fed up with Joey Porter? LOL

The Dolphins LB coach got a DC job??? LOL i feel bad for Florida’s defense.
Wow. Our Safeties led the team in tackles.
The Gators program is about to go in the tank if Meyer doesn’t get his head out of his ass and get back to the program. Clearly, poor decisions are already being made.
Yeah I’m with SATAN567….. Florida’s defense will suck next year. Our linebackers coaches were horrible this year, crazy to think that both were getting bigger job offers elsewhere.
