The NFL hiring cycle is still ongoing despite most head coaching jobs being filled around the league, as coordinator and positional coach roles are still open.
On Friday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that former Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Matt Burke, who spent 2022 as the Arizona Cardinals defensive line coach, was hired by the Houston Texans to be their defensive coordinator.
Burke joined the Dolphins back in 2016 as the linebackers coach and was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2017 when Vance Joseph left to become head coach of the Denver Broncos. Burke only served in the role for two years, as he was not retained when head coach Adam Gase was let go the following season.
Miami doesn’t play Houston in 2023, so they’ll have to wait at least a year to play Burke’s defense.
