Sources: Miami to hire Brian Daboll

Brian Daboll will be the next offensive coordinator of the Miami Dolphins, according to team sources.
Daboll, who most recently served as offensive coordinator with the Cleveland Browns and as a quarterback coach with the New York Jets under Eric Mangini, is expected to be formally named later Monday or Tuesday, the sources said.
Miami's offense struggled last season despite an offseason trade for Pro Bowl wide receiver Brandon Marshall. Third-year quarterback Chad Henne threw 15 TDs and 19 interceptions and was benched for Chad Pennington at one point.
Head coach Tony Sparano and offensive coordinator Dan Henning took much of the blame and Sparano was at the center of a messy situation after the season as the Dolphins talked with other coaching candidates while Sparano was still under contract.
Sparano eventually received a two-year extension, but Henning will not return.
