Miami Dolphins fans have reason to be excited as legendary offensive lineman and Pro Football Hall of Famer Larry Little is reportedly considering joining the Dolphins’ coaching staff. The move could bring a much-needed boost to Miami’s offensive line, an area that has struggled in recent seasons.
Little, who played for the Dolphins from 1969 to 1980, was a key member of the team’s dominant offensive line during their back-to-back Super Bowl victories in the early 1970s, including their historic perfect season in 1972. His experience and leadership could provide invaluable insight to the current roster.
According to sources close to the situation, Little has been in discussions with the Dolphins’ front office about a potential advisory or coaching role. While no official agreement has been reached, the mere possibility of his return to the organization has generated significant buzz among fans and analysts alike.
The Dolphins’ offensive line has been a point of concern, often cited as one of the team’s biggest weaknesses. With a talented young quarterback and an explosive offensive scheme, Miami’s success heavily depends on improving protection and run-blocking efficiency.
Bringing in a legend like Little, who was known for his toughness and technical prowess, could be exactly what the team needs to elevate their play in the trenches.
Little, 78, has prior coaching experience, including stints at Bethune-Cookman University and North Carolina Central. His wealth of football knowledge and connection to the franchise make him an ideal candidate to mentor the next generation of Dolphins linemen.
While an official announcement has yet to be made, Dolphins fans will be eagerly awaiting any updates regarding Little’s potential return. If he does join the staff, it would mark a homecoming for one of the franchise’s all-time greats and a significant step toward improving Miami’s offensive front.
