When the Dolphins hired Adam Gase as their new head coach, one of the questions was how many -- if any -- assistants he would keep around who were already on the staff in Miami.

At first, it appeared special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi was going to be the only one left, but according to a report over the weekend he'll have two more Dolphins assistants from 2015 with him next season.

Alex Marvez of FOX Sports reported that Gase will retain Rizzi's assistant special teams coach, Marwan Maalouf, and defensive line coach Terrell Williams. Maalouf has held the same role with the Dolphins since 2013, while Williams just wrapped up his first season in Miami.

Williams was the position coach for a unit that was inconsistent at times this season but was also pretty beat up, including the loss of defensive end Cameron Wake in late October. Before coming to Miami, Williams -- a nose guard at East Carolina in college -- began his coaching career with Fort Scott Community College in 1998. He took a job as defensive line coach at Akron in 2004, accepted the same position at Purdue in 2006 and eventually landed at Texas A&M in 2010.

His first NFL job came with the Raiders in Oakland, where he was defensive line coach from 2012-14. After the Raiders cleaned house and hired Jack Del Rio last January, Williams was named defensive line coach at the University of Florida but held the title for just a month before taking the Dolphins job.

As for Maalouf, he'll get a fourth season in Miami after spending the 2012 season as the special teams coordinator for the Colts. Before that, he was an assistant special teams coach for the Ravens for four seasons after spending 2007 working for Scouts Inc. He got his first NFL job in 2004 with Cleveland, where he spent three years as the special teams quality control coach for the Browns.

Along with Gase retaining two more assistants, the big news from the weekend was that the Dolphins are expected to hire Colts quarterbacks coach Clyde Christensen as their new offensive coordinator.
