The Buffalo Bills' special teams unit was among the worst in the NFL in 2018. Based on their struggles, it was no surprise that the team fired Danny Crossman shortly after the regular season concluded.

Despite seeing Crossman’s unit two times per year since 2013, soon-to-be Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores plans to hire Crossman as his special teams coordinator.

Crossman, 52, was the Bills' longest tenured coach before being dismissed. He served as special teams coordinator under three different head coaches during his time in Buffalo (Doug Marrone, Rex Ryan and Sean McDermott). Before joining the Bills, Crossman coached special teams for the Carolina Panthers (2003-2009) and Detroit Lions (2010-2012).

In Miami, Crossman will replace Darren Rizzi. Rizzi was well thought of in Miami and interviewed for the team’s head coaching vacancy after the team fired Adam Gase. After failing to land the head coaching job in Miami, it was believed that Rizzi would move on from the team.

Rizzi’s special teams units were usually among the best in the NFL. This year, Rick Gosselin ranked Miami’s special teams as fourth best in the league. Crossman’s unit in Buffalo came in 31st on Gosselin’s list this season.
