The Miami Dolphins may be in the John Harbaugh sweepstakes \u2014 or they may not be. If you\u2019re reading the tea leaves on that one \u2014 and Josina Anderson\u2019s social media posts \u2014 it seems like Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has been in contact with Harbaugh\u2019s representatives. We will see if that materializes into a Mike McDaniel firing and and an official interview with the former Baltimore Ravens head coach, but in the meantime, a member of the Dolphins organization who is in demand for head coach openings has been requested to interview for the second of such jobs.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver was requested to interview for the head coaching vacancy of the Atlanta Falcons. On Tuesday night, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reported that the Arizona Cardinals have become the second team to request an interview with Miami\u2019s defensive coaching leader.<\/p>\n
According to Fowler, Weaver is scheduled to interview with the Cardinals on Friday and the Falcons on Saturday.<\/p>\n
If Weaver were to win either of those jobs, the Miami Dolphins would be in line to receive two 3rd round compensatory draft picks \u2014 one in 2026 and one in 2027 \u2014 as part of the National Football League\u2019s incentive plan that encourages minority hires for head coaching and general manager positions across the league.<\/p>\n
