Renaldo Hill, who had been L.A.?s DC the past two years, is joining the #Dolphins staff on a multi-year deal.
Ansley has been coaching football since 2005, and this will be his first gig as a defensive coordinator. He has been a defensive backs coach for most of his career at Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, and the Raiders. He’ll now get his chance to lead a defense that boasts serious talent. If he can get them playing at an elite level, Ansley could make the Chargers a Super Bowl contender in 2023. The internal promotion means we could see a smoother transition under his leadership in the season’s early weeks. We’ll see if the secondary takes a step forward with Ansley in his new position.
