Overview
- ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported that Miami is bringing in Jahmile Addae to coach cornerbacks.
- Addae spent the past two seasons in the same role with Buffalo, whose staff is changing after Sean McDermott’s firing and Joe Brady’s promotion.
- Before Buffalo, Addae led the Hurricanes’ secondary in 2022–23 under Mario Cristobal and previously coached at Georgia and West Virginia, where he was co-defensive coordinator in 2020.
- Reporting credits Addae with aiding the development of Bills cornerbacks Christian Benford and Tre’Davious White.
- Miami has added multiple assistants under Hafley, including special teams coordinator Chris Tabor, and coverage suggests the team could delay a defensive coordinator hire as it monitors Anthony Weaver’s head-coach candidacy in Arizona and potential compensatory-pick implications.
