The Miami Dolphins Sign Bengals DB Coach Kevin Coyle As Their Defensive Coordinator

Kevin_coyle_johnathan_joseph_medium

The Miami Dolphins have hired Bengals defensive backs coach Kevin Coyle on Friday, becoming Miami's newest defensive coordinator according to NFL Network Insider Jason La Canfora. Coyle will replace Mike Nolan, who joined the Atlanta Falcons in the same function over the offseason. Coyle appeared to be a favorite for the job from the start. After NFL Network Insider Jason La Canfora reported that Miami was interested, the Dolphins were granted two interviews, the first of which took place on Wednesday. It was initially surprising that the Bengals would even allow the interview in the first place, after rejecting the Philadelphia Eagles a request for an interview last year.

Star-divide

Earlier in the day on Thursday, Dolphins General Manager Jeff Ireland announced that the team was converting back to a base 4-3 defensive philosophy, generating speculation that hiring Coyle was all but a certainty.

With Coyle leaving, Cincinnati will have to find a new defensive backs coach to replace him. Earlier this week we offered two choices in former Dolphins intern head coach Todd Bowles and if the team stayed internal, then assistant defensive backs coach Paul Guenther.

Coyle joined the Cincinnati Bengals in 2001 as a defensive assistant before a promotion in 2003, becoming the team's secondary coach, where defensive backs registered 133 interceptions during that span. He also helped send Deltha O'Neal (2005) and Tory James (2004) to the Pro Bowl with guys like Johnathan Joseph and Leon Hall on the cusp of being named themselves -- they were alternates.

What's more impressive is his recent work with Reggie Nelson and Adam Jones, both experiencing a rejuvenation to their respective careers -- and Chris Crocker four years ago (though not so much today).

From everyone at Cincy Jungle, congratulations to a Bengals coach receiving a promotion after 11 years with the organization.

I dont give him credit for Hall, Joseph, Nelson

U don’t get credit for average 1st rd picks. Joseph went on to make pro bowl with Texans and he never played at that level with us. Nelson top 10 pick so still average and Hall always been average. Outside of Hall and Joseph our secondary has been weak links on defense past years.

what?

do you even understand how pro bowl voting works? thats hardly a good standard for quality control.

as for 1st round picks equal success in the nfl, therefore it takes no coaching, wrong. nelson was a bust of a 1st round pick in jacksonville.

So Rivers, Smith, Gresham, and Hall are bust?

Dude where u get ur info from? Nelson had better years in Jax then he then had for us. Nelson actually produced more than all of them if u wanna be technical. He was considered bust for other NFL teams standards for being Top 10 pick. But here we think Zimmer or Coyle revived his career.

2008-2009: Tackles 55 Sacks 0 INT 2 FF 0 PD 4
2009-2010: Tackles 70 Sacks 0 INT 0 FF 0 PD 5

In Cincy

2010-2011: Tackles 54 Sacks 0 INT 2 FF 1 PD 7
2011-2012: TACKLES 85 SACKS 2 INT 4 FF 2 PD 12

Yet you say “This wasn’t his best year fellas” Yes, his rookie year he had 1 more INT, however, all other stats are better than he has ever had…

pray appears to equate probowl with skill

agree nelson would have been a lock for the probowl this season if he had played in any big market or a team favored by the sports writers.

probowl voting is nothing more than a popularity contest by the league sponsers, sports writers, and fans.

You were proved wrong in multiple posts.

You just refuse to read them, I guess.

In Jacksonville QBs picked on him and earned a 136 QB rating throwing toward him. In Cincy, QBs only manage a 72 QB rating throwing in his direction.

He wasn’t successful at keeping the ball from the intended target while in Jacksonville, and he is successful at keeping the ball from the intended target in Cincinnati. It’s a simple difference to understand.

WHAT 2 Extra INT’s? He had ONE more INT than he did his rookie year. ONE not 2/TWO…Also, he had ONE more FF last year than he did his rookie year, he he accounted for the SAME number of TURNOVERS (6) that he had in his rooke year, plus he had 15 MORE tackles!

seriously though, you’ve been asking the whole thread for people to compare 3 seasons in jacksonville vs 2 seasons in cincy. while admitting his rookie season was great statistically and choosing to ignore his 2nd and 3rd season in jacksonville being statistically imbalanced because of that 1st season.

However according to the coaches tape, the Bengals awarded him with 102 tackles.

I’ll make sure to let the NFL and the Cincinnati Bengals know that you don’t care about assisted tackles.

In the meantime make sure you boo the Bengals when Geno Atkins is holding someone up and Nelson flies from the safety position to complete the tackle. Because shit, you won’t care about that. Get out of here. Lol.

You’re probably not accounting for the fact that Nelson didn’t even play on Cincinnati’s defense — played eight snaps in the first five games, mostly as a special teams player. He finally played significantly in the second half after the week 9 loss to Pittsburgh.

But that’s alright. Go ahead and disregard that little bit when accumulating your stats.

thats not nothing special dummy

Successful teams nowadays have to reload every year. Baltimore had 30+ new players this year. We have a lot of free agents that’s not coming back. And dumb brain if u was a real fan u should want 25+ new players. We have a lot if weak links

never said that

Just wanna know what’s so special about Nelson that was missing in Jax

They moved him from CB where he Struggled in coverage

To FS where he has done much better..

does he have room to improve YES…
but i cant remember a better FS here in a long time.

and Nelson was drafted and always considered safety

That’s like sayin Crocker could put cb on his resume. And Crocker has played a lot of nickle for us.

You sir know nothing....

REggie Nelson did a great job at FS this year even commentators said hes having a pro bowl year.

quit talking what u dont know lame

I’ve never said was his year great, good or horrible. My argument was that Nelson has had on avg basically same number his whole career but one. So what makes him bust in Jax but pro bowl here? And they only argument was he has 15 more assisted tackles this year that makes his total tackles look good. But in Jax he had his career high in solo tackles and int.

I said he wasn’t a great coach, to me he is a Lil overrated
