Miami Dolphins Tap Craig Aukerman as New Special Teams Coordinator, Robert Prince Joins as Wide Receivers Coach

In a move aimed at bolstering their special teams, the Miami Dolphins have snagged Craig Aukerman to take over as their new special teams coordinator. Aukerman is coming off a year with the Rams, where his efforts contributed to their division title and a playoff push to the divisional round, per a recent announcement on CBS News Miami.

With 25 years of coaching experience, Craig Aukerman is no stranger to the game. As a special teams assistant in Los Angeles, he contributed to the Rams' 10-7 season. Before that, he spent seven seasons with the Titans, where he helped develop Pro Bowl players and guided the team to multiple postseason appearances. However, his tenure in Tennessee ended on a rough note after a turbulent game that included a blocked punt, a touchdown, and an injury to punter Ryan Stonehouse. Despite the highs and lows, Aukerman's track record proves his impact on special teams.

Adding to the new lineup, Robert Prince arrives as the wide receivers coach, riding the back of an impressive 39-year coaching career that's included overseeing the rise of Pro Bowl talents like CeeDee Lamb and Kenny Golladay, this detail and more can be gleaned from the Dolphins' official announcement on their website.
