Overview
- Duggan, 32, follows head coach Jeff Hafley from Green Bay after prior stops together at Ohio State and Boston College, per multiple reports.
- Hafley confirmed in his introductory news conference that he will handle defensive play-calling, defining Duggan’s role beyond game-day calls.
- The move replaces Anthony Weaver, who did not land a head-coaching job in this cycle, ending Miami’s chance at Rooney Rule compensatory picks.
- The staff build-out includes retained assistants Joe Barry and Austin Clark and additions such as defensive backs coach Ryan Downard, cornerbacks coach Jahmile Addae and linebackers coach Al Washington.
- The hires continue Miami’s Green Bay pipeline that already brought in GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and several assistants as Hafley accelerates his organizational reset.
