Report: Dolphins assistant to coach team for half of preseason finale

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is turning over the team to an assistant coach for the second half of Friday’s preseason finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, CBS Miami reported.

The move is a trial run for Jon Embree, the team’s assistant head/tight ends coach, who would serve as head coach should McDaniel need to miss a game for an illness or any other reason, per the report.

McDaniel is expected to call the offensive plays throughout the game.

Embree, in his 33rd season of coaching, joined the Dolphins staff in 2022 when McDaniel was hired away from the 49ers. The two worked together in San Francisco.

Embree, 58, served as the head coach at Colorado, his alma mater, from 2011-12. He was fired after posting a 4-21 record.
