The Miami Dolphins are hiring Robert Prince to be their new wide receivers coach, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Prince, 59, has been an NFL assistant coach for more than decades with multiple stops as a wide receivers coach. His most recent stop was with the Dallas Cowboys where he coached for three seasons until Mike McDaniel was relieved as head coach earlier this month.
Prior to that, Prince had stints as a receivers coach with the Houston Texans, Detroit Lions, and Seattle Seahawks.
Dallas has been led at wide receiver by CeeDee Lamb, who has led the team in receiving yards in four straight seasons. But in 2024, the team saw the dividends of the growth and development of third-year receivers Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin.
The Dolphins fired Wes Welker from his role as wide receivers coach earlier this month after three seasons. While Miami has had productive years out Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, the team has struggled to find reliable third options at the position.
Prince will be tasked with the development of 2024 draft picks Malik Washington and Tahj Washington, among others.
