The #Dolphins are expected to promote Josh Boyer to defensive coordinator, sources say. He replaces Patrick Graham, who’s leaving to become the #Giants’ DC.
Hoping he helps in improving our front seven. Seems to have done good work as position coach. You can't really blame him for the Dolphins defensive performance considering their lack of talent.
of anyone but James Bettcher and I like that the Giants are letting Judge pick his guys. Clearly he wanted to work with him again and it works out. Also, up until his late season surge, the best football Tomlinson played was under Graham as a rookie.
... for failing to find creative ways to generate a pass rush. So he should feel at home here. Miami Herald: Graham feels the heat for lack of heat. - ( New Window )
The Phins pass rush is so bad it makes the giants look like 49ers. Avery Moss was the opening day starting at one OLB spot across from bust Charles Harris.
was extremely bad. They had the kind of year where guys get fired and you don’t hear from them again, not given higher profile jobs. Last in the league in scoring defense. Last in the league according to Football Outsiders.
From Flores when he was hired by Miami: “Pat is a Yale guy. He’s extremely bright. He is great with the fundamentals and has very strong leadership ability. I can’t say enough good things about him. We worked together in New England and I know the type of passion he has and the way he works. We have a lot of the same core values and beliefs from a defensive standpoint.”

The Dolphins had the least talented defense in the NFL by far without injuries. Then they traded Minkah and lost Xavien Howard for the year.

This is why he makes sense as a hire. judge needs someone who understands what he is trying instill here.

Not based on what Judge said after his press conference
That’s the million dollar question.
They didn’t,

They didn’t,
They did. The Giants needed the permission of the Dolphins to even talk to him.
I can’t tell if this is sarcastic or not...

He was their DC. Gave the Giants permission to interview. They let him leave.

Oh, I thought the claim was that Miami had fired him.
And the fact that Banks likes him doesn’t cancel out that Flores, an up and coming coach, did not apparently value him enough to block this.

Trust me, it is.

This is exactly what I thought
I think that makes the most sense. Graham wanted to return to NY and work with Judge. They’re all friends. Sometimes, even in sports, that matters. :)
I’m hoping for Jay Gruden for OC and Bill Callahan OL coach.

Graham spent years in New England before his one season in Miami.
The Dolphins had the least talented defense in the NFL by far without injuries. Then they traded Minkah and lost Xavien Howard for the year.
Maybe there is still a way he gets involved
