Dolphins Hire Mike Nolan As Defensive Coordinator

It took all of a half a day for Mike Nolan to find a new home. The Miami Dolphins have officially hired Nolan, who mutually parted ways with Denver Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels on Monday, as their new defensive coordinator, FOXSports.com has learned. Nolan now joins a division headlined by former protégé Rex Ryan, who coached under Nolan while the two were in Baltimore together.
