Report: Dolphins have not reached out to John Harbaugh

Our Summary

Seven NFL teams have reportedly contacted John Harbaugh's agent to discuss his interest in a head coaching position after his firing from the Baltimore Ravens, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. This outreach includes at least one team that currently has a head coach, fueling speculation about potential changes in leadership. However, the Miami Dolphins are not among the teams that have reached out, as confirmed by Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. Despite ongoing speculation, Mike McDaniel remains the head coach of the Dolphins. There has been no official statement from Dolphins owner Stephen Ross regarding McDaniel's status for the upcoming season, unlike last year when both McDaniel and then-General Manager Chris Grier received public endorsements. The Dolphins concluded the 2025 season with a 7-10 record, and McDaniel holds a 35-33 overall record with two playoff appearances over his four-year tenure.
