The Dolphins’ offense ranked 26th in scoring offense this season en route to an 8-8 record.

“I would like to thank Mike for his contributions to the Miami Dolphins,” Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin said in a statement. “Mike has been a mentor to me throughout my coaching career, dating back to 1979. He is a man of great integrity, dedicated to his family, his team, his players and his profession. On behalf of the entire Miami Dolphins organization, I want to wish Mike and his family the very best in the future.”

Before becoming the Dolphins’ offensive coordinator in 2012, Sherman was the head coach at Texas A&M where he coached current Dolphins second-year quarterback Ryan Tannehill.

Bob McAdoo, the Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach, is considered the leading candidate to become the Dolphins next offensive coordinator, according to the Miami Herald.
