Overview
- Baltimore fired John Harbaugh after 18 seasons, and his agent said seven NFL teams called within 45 minutes to express interest.
- NFL reporter Josina Anderson says Dolphins ownership has an affinity for Harbaugh and has been in touch, while the Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson reports the team has not contacted him.
- Miami has not created a head-coach vacancy, and Mike McDaniel said at his season-ending news conference that he is the coach until told otherwise.
- The Dolphins’ ongoing general manager search is probing candidates on whether to keep McDaniel or start fresh, per The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, and Troy Aikman is assisting the process.
- Potential factors cited for any pursuit include Miami’s quarterback and roster outlook, and Anderson has reported Todd Monken could be a possibility on a Harbaugh staff, which remains unconfirmed.
