The Miami Dolphins remained busy on Tuesday regarding their search for a new head coach. Former Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski met with Miami’s brass for an in-person interview. The team also requested an interview with Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter.
Besides those pieces of business, another name was added to Miami’s coaching interview wish-list — and it was a name that should sound familiar to Dolphins fans.
Las Vegas Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham was requested to interview by Miami on Tuesday. Graham has held his position with the Raiders since he was hired by the team in February 2022. During his time with the club, Las Vegas has finished 25th in points allowed per game in 2025, 25th in 2024, 7th in 2023, and 26th in 2022, his first year with the Raiders.
Graham has a history in Miami — serving as the team’s defensive coordinator during the 2019 season. In the famed “Tank for Tua” year, the Dolphins finished dead last in points allowed per game — giving up 30.9 points per game (a full 1.5 points more per contest than the 31st ranked Carolina Panthers).
Graham will reportedly also interview with the Washington Commanders for their open defensive coordinator position.
