MIAMI - Former UCLA head coach Karl Dorrell was hired Thursday by the Miami Dolphins to coach their wide receivers.
Dorrell was fired last month by UCLA, where he went 35-27 and led the Bruins to a bowl appearance in each of his five seasons. UCLA finished 6-7 this season.
Before joining the Bruins, Dorrell was wide receivers coach for the Denver Broncos in 2000-02. In Miami, he’ll work under new head coach Tony Sparano, hired last week after the Dolphins endured a 1-15 season.
Miami coach Al Golden says the worst is behind him, but his headaches figure to continue now that former booster Nevin Shapiro, now in jail, says his involvement with the Hurricanes program will result in stiff penalties.
