The Miami Dolphins are in the midst of interviews regarding their vacant general manager position, but could potential head coaching interviews materialize soon?
Just yesterday, current Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel met with the South Florida media and intimated that his job seemed to be safe — however, a new wildcard has emerged in that department, and it’s one with a very familiar name.
On Tuesday, the Baltimore Ravens fired their longtime head coach John Harbaugh after 18 seasons with the organization. During that time, Harbaugh led the franchise to a 180-113 record, with a 13-11 record in the playoffs — including a Super Bowl victory following the 2012 season. He only had three seasons with a losing record during his tenure with the Ravens.
While McDaniel is currently under contract with Miami, a social media post from NFL insider Josina Anderson has induced some raised eyebrows in Dolphins-land.
While the Dolphins may be interested in speaking with John Harbaugh, they are not the only franchise interested in doing so according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter.
While John Harbaugh’s services may be in demand, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has a long history with the Harbaugh family — once interviewing John’s brother Jim while employing Tony Sparano as head coach of Miami. Ross expressed regret over how he handled that situation a decade and a half ago, so one would think that McDaniel would need to be fired before any formal interview with John Harbaugh will take place.
Will John Harbaugh eventually end up coaching on the sidelines in Miami Gardens anytime soon? No one is sure at this point, but there’s one thing everyone can be certain of…
Things just got very interesting for everyone associated with the Miami Dolphins organization.
