The Sun-Sentinel and the Miami Herald have both announced this weekend that running backs coach Kippy Brown has been given the offensive coordinator job for the Dolphins. According to both newspapers, sources on the team are telling them that Brown has been offered and has accepted the job of being Gary Stevens' replacement on the team for 1998.
Brown was apparently offered the job on Friday, during the annual draft scouting combine in Indianapolis. Some analysts had thought that JJ was waiting until the scouting combine to talk to some candidates for replacement, but that appears to not have been the case.
Kippy Brown was hired last year by JJ as a replacement for Tony Nathan as the Dolphins' running backs coach. He came to the Dolphins from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he was the running backs coach under Sam Wyche.
Brown has a total of 19 years experience as a coach, with about 6 of those being in the NFL. He played quarterback at Memphis State from 1975-77 before taking a job there as running backs coach in 1978. He moved on in 1982 to the University of Louisville, where he coached wide receiver Mark Clayton before Clayton came to the Dolphins.
He has spent most of his coaching career with the University of Tennessee as a receivers coach, where he coached such players as Alvin Harper, Tim McGee, and Anthony Miller. Further details on his coaching career can be seen at the Dolphins Endzone website at the link listed in "Related Links".
