The Miami Dolphins are aiming to contend starting in the 2025 NFL season, with a particular focus on competing in the AFC East. To help Tua Tagovailoa in that effort, they have secured the addition of a coach who previously worked alongside CJ Stroud with the Houston Texans.
Bobby Slowik served as the offensive coordinator for the Texans, and starting next season, he will join Mike McDaniel’s staff with the Dolphins. The two will reunite after working together with the San Francisco 49ers.
The news was reported by NFL insider Tom Pelissero, who announced via his official X (formerly Twitter) account @TomPelissero the imminent arrival of Slowik to the Dolphins as Senior Passing Game Coordinator.
“Former #Texans OC Bobby Slowik is joining the #Dolphins as senior passing game coordinator, per sources. Still only 37, Slowik was a hot head coaching candidate last year after Houston’s instant success. Now, a reunion with former #49ers coworker Mike McDaniel in Miami,” Pelissero stated.
Slowik’s work with Stroud
After his time with the San Francisco 49ers, Bobby Slowik joined Houston as the team’s new offensive coordinator in 2023. That same year, CJ Stroud was also selected as the new QB of the team.
While the team as a whole didn’t achieve the desired goals, Slowik helped the former Ohio State player reach high levels of play, to the point where he was named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and also made his first Pro Bowl.
Weaver stays in Miami
Uncertainty began to surround Mike McDaniel‘s staff when Anthony Weaver emerged as a serious candidate for the head coaching position with the New Orleans Saints. Fortunately for the Dolphins, this will not come to pass.
After winning the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles, the new head coach of the Saints turned out to be Kellen Moore, eliminating the possibility of Weaver heading to New Orleans.
Thus, the defensive coordinator will remain for another year on McDaniel’s staff, which is great news for the Dolphins, as they won’t have to search for an immediate replacement.
