Another Familiar Name Joins Dolphins Coaching Staff

Sam and Pat are going to be a thing again for the Miami Dolphins.

Arguably the best cornerback duo in franchise history, Sam Madison and Patrick Surtain are going to be working together with the current defensive backs on the team.

Two days after news broke of Madison being hired as cornerbacks coach/pass game specialist, the Dolphins now will be bringing in Surtain to serve as a defensive assistant working with the defensive backs, as confirmed by a league source.

Surtain has spent the past six seasons as head coach at Plantation American Heritage School, where he coached his son Patrick Surtain II before he became a first-round pick of the Denver Broncos in the 2021 NFL draft and where he earned 2020 High School Football America National Coach of the Year honors.

Surtain and Madison played together with the Dolphins from 1998-2004 when Surtain was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs for a second-round pick and they combined to earn seven Pro Bowl invitations.

Mike McDaniel's first coaching staff with the Dolphins now includes three former Miami players, the third being wide receivers coach Wes Welker.
