Daniel Ernest Henning, Jr. (born June 21, 1942 in The Bronx, New York) is currently the Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator. He was also an American football player. A quarterback, he played collegiately at William and Mary, and professionally (in 1966) for the American Football League's San Diego Chargers. He is the former Head Coach of the Atlanta Falcons (1983-1986) and the San Diego Chargers (1989-1991) of the NFL. He was the head coach of the Boston College Eagles (1994-96). He then returned to the NFL as an offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills (1997-1998). After Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy retired partially due to his refusal to fire Henning, he left Buffalo.
Henning had two stints as the offensive coordinator with the Washington Redskins (1981-82, 1987-88). He won two Super Bowl rings during this time.
Most recently, Henning was named offensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins.[1] Prior, he was the offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers from 2002 until January 2007. Henning helped lead his team to the Super Bowl after the 2003 season. After the 2005 season in which the Panthers returned to the NFC Championship game, they were considered Super Bowl contenders in 2006. However, the offense struggled due to injuries and what critics deemed conservative play-calling by Henning, resulting in an 8-8 season and his firing.[2]
