The Miami Dolphins are reportedly hiring franchise legend Sam Madison as the team’s corner backs coach/pass game specialist, per ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter.
Madison spent the last three seasons as the Kansas City Chiefs’ cornerbacks/secondary coach and will replace former Dolphins CBs coach Charles Burks, who left for a similar role in Cincinnati this offseason.
This is all part of Dolphins’ HC Mike McDaniel putting the finishing touches on his staff, with CBs coach Charles Burks departing for a similar role in Cincinnati. Thus the spot and need for Madison.

Madison spent nine seasons as a player in Miami (1997-2005), logging 31 interceptions, four Pro-Bowl selections and two first-team All-Pro honors along the way. His 31 interceptions rank third in franchise history.
The hire of Madison puts one of the finishing touches on first-time head coach Mike McDaniels’ new staff in Miami. Madison, 47, joins newcomers like offensive coordinator Frank Smith, quarterbacks coach/pass game coordinator Darrell Bevell, wide receivers coach Wes Welker, tight ends coach Jon Embree and offensive line coach Matt Applebaum.
Madison will have the pleasure of coaching a pair of star Dolphins cornerbacks: Xavien Howard and Byron Jones. This position group is bolstered by Nik Needham, Justin Coleman, Noah Igbinoghene, Javaris Davis, Trill Williams and Jamal Perry.
