Dolphins Offensive Line Coach Chris Foerster Resigns

Amid a shocking video in which Miami Dolphins’ assistant coach Chris Foerster could be seen snorting a white powdery substance, the former offensive line coach resigned Monday.

Video Details

In the video, Foerster can be seen using a rolled up $20 bill to snort the substance. This happened before he went into the team meeting. Dolphins head coach Adam Case revealed in a press conference that he became aware of the video Sunday night at about 10:45 when he got a call from general manager Chris Grier. The video was posted on Facebook by a Las Vegas dancer named Kijuana Nige, according to SB Nation. Gase said that it’s not been fun dealing with the situation.
