The Miami Dolphins are "close" to a deal with Adam Gase to become their next head coach, sources told ESPN.
Slight issues remain in the negotiations, but there is a chance that Gase could be named Dolphins coach as early as Saturday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Gase, the offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears, would become Miami's fourth consecutive hire with no prior head-coaching experience, joining former Dolphins coaches Joe Philbin, Tony Sparano and Cam Cameron. He is considered a "quarterback guru," which is highly coveted by Miami. He did good work with quarterback Jay Cutler this season and Peyton Manning and Tim Tebow in Denver in previous seasons.
