The Dolphins’ search for Mike McDaniel‘s top lieutenant on offense is underway. Falcons quarterbacks coach Charles London is the first candidate to surface.
Miami is set to interview the veteran position coach, Josh Kendall of The Athletic tweets. A running backs coach for much of his career, London has primarily worked with Bill O’Brien in the pros.

London, 46, followed O’Brien to Penn State in 2012 and returned to the NFL on O’Brien’s first Texans staff in 2014. London coached Houston’s running backs from 2014-17 and joined Matt Nagy‘s Bears staff as running backs coach in 2018. The Falcons, who hired ex-Bears assistant Dave Ragone as offensive coordinator last year, brought London over to work with Matt Ryan and Co.
Miami’s OC position is almost certainly a non-play-calling role, with McDaniel on track to assume that responsibility after being a non-play-calling OC himself under Kyle Shanahan.
