Mike Nolan's tenure in Miami has come and gone. Hired two years ago by Tony Sparano, who has since been fired, Nolan led the Dolphins defense to consecutive years ranked in the top 15, along with a rushing defense ranked in the top 5.
Sources say Nolan will reunite in Atlanta with current head coach Mike Smith, whom he worked with in Baltimore.
Nolan was respected by players and coaches alike, and was reportedly disappointed that he did not receive a job interview for the current head coaching vacancy in Miami.
"I think I'm pretty damn good at what I do. I've done it a lot of places and we've done it pretty damn well. I don't doubt myself on that," Nolan said. "But again, getting a job, not getting a job. If you're the one handing out job then you get to decide that, and not me."
This loss could make Bengals DC Mike Zimmer a front runner to land the head coaching job in Miami, and rightfully so, because if Nolan is not replaced by somebody like Zimmer than this is a clear loss for the Dolphins.
