NFL Coaching Carousel Quickens as Dolphins Open Job and Harbaugh Becomes Top Target

Miami moves to fill its GM vacancy first to steer the coaching search.

Overview

  • Miami fired Mike McDaniel after a 7-10 season, lifting head-coach openings to eight, with owner Stephen M. Ross announcing the move.
  • John Harbaugh is on the market after 18 seasons in Baltimore, and his agent says multiple teams have called, with reports linking him to Miami and New York.
  • Betting markets place the Dolphins as favorites for Harbaugh, though the Giants are also considered a contender.
  • Reports indicate the Dolphins intend to hire a general manager before advancing their coaching search, a sequence that could give the new coach sway over the front office.
  • Baltimore has launched a broad search and requested interviews with a mix of candidates, including offensive play-callers Joe Brady, Kliff Kingsbury and Klint Kubiak, as well as Vance Joseph, Davis Webb and Matt Nagy, under standard Rooney Rule requirements.
