"Bobby Slowik, who came to the Miami Dolphins last season as the senior pass game coordinator, will be named as their new offensive coordinator, a league source has confirmed to the South Florida Sun Sentinel. ESPN was the first to report Slowik's promotion. Slowik served as the Houston Texans' offensive coordinator for the two seasons (2023-24) before he joined the Dolphins, helping to develop young quarterback C.J. Stroud. Slowik's offense ranked No. 7 in 2023 and No. 2 in pass plays of more than 25 yards (41). Stroud had 23 touchdowns, five interceptions and a 100.8 passer rating."
"The Texans dipped to No. 22 in total offense in 2024 as injuries hit the offensive line. Stroud had 20 touchdowns, 12 interceptions and an 87.0 passer rating. Still, Houston finished 10-7 and had three offensive Pro Bowl selections- left tackle Laremy Tunsil, running back Joe Mixon and wide receiver Nico Collins. The Dolphins will be looking to revamp an offense that thrived on speed and finesse under former coach Mike McDaniel. New Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley has already expressed part of his offensive vision. "Now I need to hire an offensive coordinator," he said at Thursday's introductory news conference, "and there are certain core beliefs that I really do believe in like running the ball and being really physical up front, so when they know we're going to run the ball, we're still going to run it well. That's going to be huge for me. And then we do, we need to build it around the quarterback, and you have to surround that quarterback with weapons - the o-line, the wideouts, the backs so it's not all him.""
"Most likely Slowik's top job will be replacing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, but he will likely also need to replace wide receiver Tyreek Hill and find a backup right tackle (behind Austin Jackson), a starting or backup right guard (for James Daniels) and depth all around. It's not known whether Slowik's offense would require fullback Alec Ingold, a team leader."
Bobby Slowik will be named the Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator after joining last season as senior pass game coordinator. Slowik previously served as the Houston Texans offensive coordinator in 2023-24 and helped develop quarterback C.J. Stroud, whose 2023 season included 23 touchdowns, five interceptions and a 100.8 passer rating. The Texans fell to No. 22 in total offense in 2024 amid offensive-line injuries, though the team finished 10-7 and had three offensive Pro Bowl selections. New head coach Jeff Hafley emphasizes running the ball, physical play up front and building around the quarterback, and roster changes on offense are likely.
