MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Former Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski has interviewed with the Miami Dolphins for their head coaching vacancy.
The Dolphins began reaching out to candidates afterhiring Jon-Eric Sullivanas their general manager last week, a day afterfiring coach Mike McDanielfollowing four seasons.
Miami interviewed Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak on Saturday.
Stefanski, 43, is a two-time AP NFL Coach of the Year and has interviewed with several teams looking for a new head coach, including Tennessee, Atlanta and Baltimore. He wasfired last week by Clevelandwith a 46-58 record in six seasons.
The Dolphins are expected to complete more interviews in the coming days but had been linked to former Baltimore coach John Harbaugh, who wasfired by the Ravensafter 18 seasons. The team has not announced an interview with Harbaugh.
Stefanski would be a different coaching hire from what Miami owner Stephen Ross typically has chosen.
Ross has not hired someone with previous head coaching experience since becoming the Dolphins' majority owner in 2009 — recently gambling on Joe Philbin (2012-2015), Adam Gase (2016-18), Brian Flores (2019-21) and McDaniel (2022-25).
