The Miami Dolphins are shopping for a new head football coach.
Mike McDaniel‘s firing on Jan. 8 was the first step and the hiring of Jon-Eric Sullivan as the team’s new general manager was the second step.
Now, it’s on to contacting prospective coaches and setting up interviews.
The whale in the room is John Harbaugh, who was fired by the Baltimore Ravens this week. There are reports that the Dolphins have contacted Harbaugh, who also is high on the list of several other teams seeking coaches, including the New York Giants.
The Dolphins also reportedly have contacted several other candidates and starting the interview process.
Here is the latest news:
Klint Kubiak reportedly being interview by Dolphins today
- Klint Kubiak. The Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator reportedly was being interviewed on Jan. 10 by the Dolphins. As the NFC’s top seed, the Seahawks have a bye this weekend. According to NFL hiring rules, a head coaching interview with a coordinator of a playoff team on a bye must be held virtually. Klint Kubiak is the son of former Broncos and Texans head coach Gary Kubiak and has been coaching on the pro and collegiate level for the last 15 years.
- Robert Saleh. Currently the defensive coordinator of the San Francisco 49ers, Saleh was the Jets head coach from 2021-24. The Niners play at the Eagles in a wild-card playoff game on Jan. 11.
- Kevin Stefanski. Fired as the Cleveland Browns head coach on the NFL’s “Black Monday,” he’s also reportedly interviewing with the Tennessee Titans.
- Chris Shula. Grandson of Don Shula, son of David Shula, Chris is the Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator. The Rams play at the Carolina Panthers on Jan. 10.
