Dolphins want to interview Chris Shula, grandson of Don Shula

Our Summary

The Miami Dolphins have requested permission to interview Chris Shula, the defensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams, for their head coaching position. Chris Shula, 39, is the grandson of legendary Dolphins coach Don Shula. He joined the Rams in 2017 and became their defensive coordinator in 2024. The Dolphins have not reached a Super Bowl since Don Shula's tenure. The Rams ranked 17th in total defense and tenth in points allowed this season.
