Loggains’ hiring creates ripples

Offensive line coach DeGuglielmo to leave as shake-up continues.

DAVIE — The shake-up of Adam Gase’s coaching staff on the Dolphins continues.

Dave DeGuglielmo, who joined the staff in October in the wake of the embarrassing departure of offensive line coach Chris Foerster, will not return for the 2018 season, sources told The Post on Thursday.

The move follows the hiring of Dowell Loggains, former offensive coordinator of the Bears and Titans, in the same role with Miami. Clyde Christensen, offensive coordinator the past two seasons, is expected to remain with the Dolphins in an undisclosed role.

Additional moves will follow in the upcoming days and weeks. That was to be expected, not only for a team that finished 6-10, but also after Gase publicly revealed his displeasure with the staff in October.

Following a 40-0 debacle against the Baltimore Ravens on national TV, Gase unloaded on players for not studying the playbook but also made a reference to his assistants. “Guys need to get their heads right,” Gase said. “Coaching staff needs to do a better job because obviously our players not knowing is a direct reflection on them.”

Foerster resigned after video surfaced online showing him snorting a white powder. Although DeGuglielmo was brought aboard, neither he nor Chris Kuper was given the title of offensive line coach. They both were involved in coaching the linemen.

Like much of the team, the offensive line endured a turbulent year. Laremy Tunsil, moved to left tackle for his second NFL season, had an up-and-down season. Injuries and inconsistency triggered lineup changes until later in the year, when the Dolphins used Sam Young and Jesse Davis for the right side of their line. A bright spot: Center Mike Pouncey played all 16 games for the first time since 2012.

DeGuglielmo coached the Dolphins’ offensive line from 200911 and also has been with the Giants, Jets and Patriots.

Gase felt he needed to change something ito improve Miami’s 25th-ranked offense. He has said he will continue to call the plays in 2018.

But Gase wanted a new voice in the room, and so he turned to a trusted voice from his past in Loggains, who was offensive coordinator of the Bears in 201617 and previously worked with Gase in Chicago.

This season, the Bears had the NFL’s 30th-ranked offense. In 2016, Chicago had the NFL’s 15th-ranked offense.

Loggains was offensive coordinator of the Titans in 2012-13. In those seasons, Tennessee ranked 26th and 22nd in total offense. Why did Gase go with Loggains? According to people familiar with their relationship, the organization believes Loggains:

■ Has familiarity with multiple schemes as a play-caller

■ Develops pocket awareness of quarterbacks

■ Is outstanding with players and respected around the league

■ Is good at managing people

■ Holds players and coaches accountable

Loggains, 37, was a backup quarterback and holder at Arkansas. Christensen’s role was really as a trusted adviser to Gase, so it is possible Loggains, a Texas native, could fill that role.

Loggains replaced Gase as Bears offensive coordinator in 2016, but head coach John Fox was relieved of his duties. Loggains intended to continue to run Gase’s system, so obviously he is extremely familiar with Gase’s preferences.

Loggains worked with Jay Cutler in 2016 and rookie Mitch Trubisky this season, typically scripting Chicago’s first 15 plays. Though Gase is a noted quarterback guru, Loggains could help give Ryan Tannehill a fresh perspective, too.
