The Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Renaldo Hill is set to leave the team to join the Miami Dolphins. There, he will reunite with fellow defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Fangio confirmed Hill’s appointment on Monday, however, his role in the team remains unspecified.
“First and foremost, Renaldo’s a good coach,” Fangio stated during his public address. “Really, a talented coach with a bright future in the NFL. He worked with us for two years in Denver, so his familiarity with me and the system and what we do was important to me. But regardless of that, just his ability to be a great coach is what attracted me to him.”
Chargers head coach Brandon Staley allowed Hill to leave for the Dolphins out of respect for both Hill and Fangio. Staley served as an assistant under Fangio from 2017 until 2019, coaching at both the Chicago Bears and the Denver Broncos.
Prior to beginning his coaching career, Hill played 10 seasons in the NFL as a defensive back. Having played for the Dolphins from 2006 to 2008, Hill became Miami’s assistant defensive backs coach in 2018.
