The Miami Dolphins are working their schedule for next week once the NFL’s rules allow in-person interviews starting Monday. They are not complete with their virtual meetings, however, as a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero indicated on Saturday morning. Appearing on NFL Gameday Morning, Pelissero updated the Dolphins head coaching search, listing Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley as the “frontrunner” for the role. While focusing on Hafley in the segment, Pelissero added that the Dolphins will hold a virtual interview on Sunday with Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady.
Brady took over as the Bills’ interim offensive...

The Miami Dolphins may have an early favorite to fill their vacant head coaching position. While the team is still scheduling virtual and in-person interviews for this weekend and into next week, it is beginning to sound like Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley has an early lead in landing the job.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the first round of virtual interviews appears to have pushed Hafley into the favored position. “Sources say Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley has emerged as a frontrunner for the Dolphins head coaching job,” Pelissero said on an appearance on NFL GameDay...

The NFL’s playoff schedule continues on Saturday as the Divisional Round kicks off. Often seen as the best weekend of football, with the top eight teams from across the league facing off in four nationally televised games, there are consistently good games throughout the weekend.
Of course, this year’s divisional round has its work cut out for it after a wild-card weekend that featured crazy comebacks, last-second victories, and chases all around the schedule. How will this weekend’s games play out?
As we do every week, our contributors here at The Phinsider are back to make their predictions for the...

The Miami Dolphins are going through rebuild at the top of their organizational chart. Last week, they hired Jon-Eric Sullivan to be their new general manager and fired Mike McDaniel. For the past week, names have been dropped on who the Dolphins are requesting interviews with. The betting favorite for the next Dolphins head coach is Jeff Hafley, the Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator. It’s easy to make a connection since Sullivan and he overlapped in Green Bay for two years.
You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.

I know there are more important things going on in the world — like the Miami Dolphins’ search for the next head coach or *looks around* EVERYTHING else — but when I saw this, I had no choice but to share it with my fellow Phinsider brothers and sisters.
A few weeks ago, we found out that former Dolphins first-round pick Ted Ginn Jr. (and his family) would be the head coach of the UFL’s Columbus Aviators.
Ginn was Miami’s first-round pick (9th-overall) in the 2007 NFL draft. After playing only three seasons with Miami — and being widely considered...

The Miami Dolphins fired head coach Mike McDaniel just over a week ago. They have been search for his replacement ever since, with new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan leading the process to reset the franchise. The move to fire McDaniel came several days after most changes to the position from around the league had already happened and McDaniel appeared safe in his role for 2026.
However, owner Stephen Ross decided to relieve McDaniel of his duties on Thursday, January 8, and informed him that morning. Yesterday, Dolphins tight end Darren Waller was on the Glory Daze Podcast, hosted by former...

On Thursday morning, it was revealed that former Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh and the New York Giants were in agreement to bring the 63-year-old coach on board as the new head coach of the franchise. As a result, the Miami Dolphins found out that they would not get a chance to interview Harbaugh for their own head coaching vacancy.
On Thursday evening, it was revealed by Connor Hughes — a reporter for SNY in New York — that Harbaugh might not be done hurting the Dolphins.
On a post made to social media, Hughes reported that current Dolphins...

The Miami Dolphins continue to add names to their head coach candidate list and the most recent addition is a familiar name. The Dolphins requested an interview with Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator, Anthony Campanile, who served as the Dolphins linebackers coach from 2020 – 2023. He spent one year with the Green Bay Packers in the same role, along with run game coordinator, before taking the Jaguars job. So there is a connection between him and Dolphins new general manager, Jon-Eric Sullivan.
You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.

Our Miami Dolphins have their new general manager, Jon-Eric Sullivan, and will hopefully soon have their new head coach and assistant coaches. After all the dust clears from those hirings, the organization will need to get back to business, the business of talent evaluation. They will need to do all their due diligence before the draft to add more talent across multiple positions. There will also be a lot of time spent on other teams’ upcoming free agents before free agency kicks off. But beyond those two areas, there’s the current roster. The new staff will have to do a...

Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has long said that he has no plans to sell the team. On Wednesday, in an interview with Bloomberg Newsmakers, Ross publicly stated for the first time that he not only plans to keep the team in his family, but that he turned down an offer of $15 billion for the team.
Ross bought the Dolphins in 2009, taking over from previous owner Wayne Huizenga. He purchased a 50% stake in the team for $1 billion, and assumed complete ownership soon after. Since then, the team’s value has skyrocketed to nearly $7.5 billion, the 11th...
