The Miami Dolphins have appointed Craig Aukerman as their new special teams coordinator following the dismissal of Danny Crossman. Aukerman, who has a wealth of experience in the NFL, previously served as a special teams assistant for the Los Angeles Rams, contributing to their successful run during the 2023 season. Before joining the Rams, he had a significant tenure with the Tennessee Titans, where he was the special teams coordinator for five years, coaching two Pro Bowl players.

Aukerman's appointment comes after a turbulent year for him in Tennessee, where he was let go mid-season following a series of unfortunate events that included a blocked punt and an injury to the punter. His new role with the Dolphins presents an opportunity for redemption and the chance to bring his expertise to a team looking to improve its special teams play.
