Dolphins fire offensive line coach Flaherty
Miami Dolphins first-year offensive line coach Pat Flaherty was fired and replaced by Dave DeGuglielmo, who had been an analyst for the coaching staff.
The changes Monday came after four days of training camp drills.
Flaherty was hired in February by new head coach Brian Flores and was entering his 20th year of coaching in the NFL. He coached the offensive line for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2017-18.
DeGuglielmo was the Dolphins' offensive line coach in 2009-11 and rejoined their staff during the past offseason. In 2018 he was offensive line coach for the Indianapolis Colts.
Goodell will be questioned under oath: A Louisiana judge has ordered that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and three officials from January's NFC title game be questioned under oath in September about an infamous “no-call” during January's NFC title game.
Attorney Antonio LeMon, who filed a lawsuit over the game, says he and league attorneys will pick a mutually agreeable date for depositions in New Orleans – barring any league appeals that might delay or cancel the questioning.
LeMon's lawsuit seeks $75,000 in damages – to be donated to charity – over the failure to flag a blatant pass interference and roughness penalty against the Los Angeles Rams. The nocall came at a crucial point in the game against the New Orleans Saints. The Rams won and advanced to the Super Bowl.
