Overview
- Miami’s finalists are Chargers assistant GM Chad Alexander, Packers VP of player personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan, 49ers director of scouting and football operations Josh Williams, and interim GM Champ Kelly.
- The in-person round follows virtual interviews and is set to start Thursday as the organization moves deliberately but on an expedited timeline.
- Owner Stephen Ross and senior leadership are assessing each candidate’s roster-building blueprint, draft approach, and views on decision-making structure with coach Mike McDaniel and executive Brandon Shore.
- McDaniel is not widely expected to be replaced immediately, though the new general manager’s stance could shape his longer-term future and the direction on quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
- Reporting has indicated Miami has made contact with John Harbaugh in exploring coaching options, but no move has been made as the GM search proceeds after the team parted with Chris Grier on Halloween.
