The Miami Dolphins are focused on improving for the upcoming season, and one of their strategies is to bring in experienced staff. The latest addition is a former Cowboys coach, brought in to assist with Mike McDaniel’s offensive strategy, particularly with the receivers.
According to information from Tom Pelissero, the Dolphins are hiring Robert Prince as their new wide receivers coach to work in the offensive room. Prince most recently coached with the Cowboys but has been part of several NFL teams since 2004.
It’s clear the Dolphins need help in the receivers room, as their touchdown production was low this past season, with only 22 touchdowns and 413 receptions on 568 targets. Additionally, one of their top receivers, Tyreek Hill, is likely to be absent in 2025, leaving Mike McDaniel’s offensive ambitions uncertain.
Prince is a veteran with more than 20 years of experience in the league, having spent much of his career working with the offense, particularly with wide receivers. However, he has also held roles with running backs, tight ends, and quarterbacks. Additionally, Prince has college football experience dating back to 1989.
What Is Prince’s Most Recent Experience?
Before joining the Dolphins, Prince worked with the Cowboys from 2022 to 2024. He also spent time with the Texans in 2021 and with the Detroit Lions from 2014 to 2020. During his time with Detroit, he not only served as the wide receivers coach but also briefly held the role of ‘acting head coach.’
Dolphins’ Receivers Could See Improvement with Prince
Prince’s arrival could be key to improving the receivers room, and his vast experience may help address issues within the team’s current offensive strategy. The Dolphins struggled offensively due to injuries to Tua Tagovailoa, which directly impacted the performance of several receivers. With Prince’s guidance, those challenges could be better managed moving forward.
