Miami Dolphins offensive line coach Chris Foerster resigned on Monday, following the release of a video on social media that shows him snorting coci, reports ESPN.
Foerster said that he will seek professional help. In the video, he is seen using a $20 to snort the white powder off a table while speaking into the camera. He says, “Hey, I miss you. … Thinking about you. … How about me going to a meeting and doing this before I go,” according to ESPN.
A woman named Kijuana Nige put the video on Facebook and said she unhappy about the way that NFL’s protesting players were being treated, according to CBS Sports.
In a statement, Foerster says that he accepts full responsibility for his actions, according to ESPN. “I want to apologize to the organization and my sole focus is on getting the help that I need with the support of my family and medical professionals.”
This was Foerster’s second season with the team, and second time working for them, reports ESPN. The team also released a statement, saying they will work with him to get him the help he needs during this time. Foerster, 55, was one of the highest-paid assistant coaches in the NFL, with a salary valued between $2.5 million and $3 million a year.
According to ESPN, this marks the second time in recent years that a Dolphins offensive line coach has been involved in a controversy. The Dolphins fired Jim Turner in 2014 after an investigation into the bullying scandal in the team’s locker room.
