The Miami Dolphins reveal that they have hired John Benton and Jack Bicknell Jr. as their new coaches of their offensive line.

The Miami Dolphins have announced that they have hired John Benton and Jack Bicknell Jr. to their coaching staff.

Benton has been named the club's new offensive line coach, replacing the fired Jim Turner in light of the bullying scandal that rocked the organisation last season.

Meanwhile, Bicknell Jr. will be working as Benton's assistant after he was let go by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

"With the promotion of John Benton, along with the addition of Jack Bicknell Jr. we have two experienced football coaches who have an impressive history working with and developing quality offensive line units," head coach Joe Philbin told the club's official website.

"They are both excellent teachers and are highly respected within the coaching community. Both coaches will be great assets to the Miami Dolphins organisation."

The Dolphins allowed 58 sacks last season, the most in the NFL.
