MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak interviewed with the Miami Dolphins on Saturday for their head coaching vacancy.
With a new general manager in place in Jon-Eric Sullivan, the Dolphins began reaching out to potential candidates to replace coach Mike McDaniel, who was fired on Thursday after four seasons in Miami.
Sullivan agreed on Friday to become Miami's GM, taking over the role of Chris Grier, who was fired in October after a decade-long run leading the franchise.
Kubiak is the first coaching candidate the Dolphins have publicly announced they've been in contact with, but more interviews will likely be completed in the coming days.
Kubiak is in his first season as Seattle's offensive coordinator after spending one year with the New Orleans Saints in the same role. He’s also been an offensive coordinator with Minnesota. Kubiak is the son of former NFL coach Gary Kubiak, who led Denver to a Super Bowl victory a decade ago.
The 38-year-old Kubiak also recently interviewed with Baltimore and Atlanta for their head coaching vacancies. Seattle has a playoff bye this weekend as the top-seeded team in the AFC.
The Dolphins have been linked to former Baltimore coach John Harbaugh, who was fired this week by the Ravens after 18 seasons.
Other potential candidates who have a connection with Sullivan include Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley; Mike McCarthy, who coached the Packers for more than a decade; and Jaguars defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile, Green Bay’s linebackers coach in 2024. Campanile also coached Miami’s linebackers from 2020-23.

A Ukrainian drone strike killed one person and wounded three others in the Russian city of Voronezh, local officials said Sunday.
A young woman died overnight in a hospital intensive care unit after debris from a drone fell on a house during the attack on Saturday, regional Gov. Alexander Gusev said on Telegram.
Three other people were wounded and more than 10 apartment buildings, private houses and a high school were damaged, he said, adding that air defenses shot down 17 drones over Voronezh. The city is home to just over 1 million people and lies some 250 kilometers (155 miles) from the Ukrainian border.
The attack came after Russia bombarded Ukraine with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles overnight into Friday, killing at least four people in the capital Kyiv, according to Ukrainian officials. For only the second time in the nearly four-year war, Russia used a powerful new hypersonic missile that struck western Ukraine in a clear warning to Kyiv and NATO.
Ukraine’s largest private energy supplier, DTEK, said Sunday that 30,000 people in Kyiv were still without power following the attack. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said around half the apartment buildings — nearly 6,000 — in snowy Kyiv were left without heat in daytime temperatures of about minus 8 degrees Celsius (17.6 Fahrenheit).
The intense barrage and the launch of the nuclear-capable Oreshnik missile followed reports of major progress in talks between Ukraine and its allies on how to defend the country from further aggression by Moscow if a U.S.-led peace deal is struck.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday in his nightly address that Ukrainian negotiators “continue to communicate with the American side.”
Chief negotiator Rustem Umerov was in contact with U.S. partners on Saturday, he said.
Separately, Ukraine’s General Staff said Russia targeted Ukraine with 154 drones overnight into Sunday and 125 were shot down.
The Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s main intelligence directorate said Sunday that Russia this month deployed the new jet-powered “Geran-5” strike drone against Ukraine for the first time. The Geran is a Russian variant of the Iranian-designed Shahed.
According to the directorate, the drone can carry a 90-kilogram (200-pound) warhead and has a range of nearly 1,000 kilometers (620 miles).
