Summary

Miami Dolphins charge into head coach interview season as Chris Shula, grandson of the legendary Don Shula, emerges as a top candidate. With only three interviews accepted out of seven requests, Shula’s selective approach signals Miami’s attractiveness among NFL franchises like the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens. Can the Dolphins’ new front office vision lure the next leader for a pivotal 2026 roster reset? Kyle Crabbs highlights Jon-Eric Sullivan’s arrival as general manager, sharing glowing scouting community reviews and outlining Miami’s meticulous search process. Hot candidates—including Robert Saleh, Klint Kubiak, Kevin Stefanski, and Jeff Hafley—are assessed alongside evolving Rooney Rule requirements and important timeline constraints. Plus, the pressure mounts to assemble an elite coaching staff as teams scramble for top assistants. Will Miami’s strategic moves position them for long-term NFL success, or will the coming rebuilding season prove a daunting hurdle?
