Dorrell, Henning, Pasqualoni mulling Miami offers
Former UCLA coach Karl Dorrell is expected to be named the wide receivers coach of the Miami Dolphins at some point this week, as Dorrell is believed to have chosen Miami over Kansas City acording to the Miami Herald.

Dorrell, who coached the wide receivers in Denver before jumping back to the college ranks, recently was fired by UCLA. If indeed he chooses Miami, the team is considering hiring former NFL head coach Dan Henning to serve as the offensive coordinator. The mind-set would be to groom Dorrell as Henning's successor to run the offense -- a transition that would likely be a rapid one since Henning is 65 years old.

Meanwhile, several Cowboys assistants are likely to decide Tuesday whether to join the Dolphins or stay in Dallas. Linebackers coach Paul Pasqualoni, defensive line coach Kacy Rodgers and secondary coach Todd Bowles all have contracts that will expire Tuesday.

One of the rumors making the rounds at the Senior Bowl practice sessions is that there's trouble still brewing in Oakland. Coach Lane Kiffin has discovered he me may the the head coach of the Oakland Raiders but Al Davis runs all things black and silver.

Citing a league source, Profootballtalk.com is reporting Kiffin and defensive coordinator Rob Ryan are not on speaking terms. Davis wants Ryan. Kiffin doesn't. Several weeks ago, there were reports that the Raiders were preparing to fire Ryan. It also was reported that Ryan would be landing with the New York Jets. The team issued a strong denial, and all has been quiet since then.

It could be that Kiffin is in trouble, and that Davis is waiting for the dust to settle as to other head-coaching jobs or offensive coordinator positions at the NFL and NCAA level before cutting Kiffin loose.
