Dolphins fired OC Bill Lazor.
Dolphins QB coach Zac Taylor will replace Lazor as offensive coordinator the rest of the season. This decision was reportedly made by interim coach Dan Campbell after Lazor refused to adopt the run-heavy approach he desired. If true, it shows Campbell wields a surprising amount of power for a coach sure to be out of a job in a month. Despite a strong showing last year, Lazor consistently abandoned the run too early and struggled with play calling inside the red zone this season. Ryan Tannehill also took a step back, and Lazor could never create effective protection packages to keep his almost comically unaware quarterback off the deck. Lazor was something of a hot name after last season, and he should get another shot to call plays in a less toxic situation.
