Renaldo Hill is leaving his job as defensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Chargers to take a job with his former boss, Vic Fangio, and the Miami Dolphins, ESPN reported Monday.

Fangio was named DC of the Dolphins last week, and he's bringing Hill on board as defensive pass-game coordinator, per the report. Chargers head coach Brandon Staley allowed the move -- given that it's a step down in title -- out of respect for Fangio, per the report.

Hill and Fangio have history. Hill coached the defensive backs in Denver (2019-20) when Fangio was head coach of the Broncos.

The 44-year-old Hill played 10 NFL seasons (2001-10) as defensive back with the Arizona Cardinals, Oakland Raiders, Dolphins and Broncos. He began his pro coaching career as defensive backs coach with the Pittsburgh Steelers (2015-17), then spent a year on the Dolphins coaching staff before landing the job in Denver.
