Coaching Staff Entering his third season with the Dolphins, new Cornerbacks Coach Charles Burks' route to heading up his own room in the NFL was a circuitous one. Before serving as a Dolphins defensive assistant for the 2019-2020 seasons, Burks was the defensive coordinator at Southeastern Oklahoma State. At the time of his hire, Burks was the youngest coordinator in the Great American Conference at the age of 26. After his first coaching job at his alma mater East Central University in Oklahoma, Burks took a Texas two-step with stops at Texas A&M-Commerce and West Texas A&M. Working primarily with the cornerbacks in 2020, Burks' name often came up in player press conferences as a great teacher.
