Miami's recent hire of a new general manager has shifted attention away from coaching speculation involving John Harbaugh. The Dolphins named Green Bay Packers executive Jon‑Eric Sullivan as their new general manager this week. Fox NFL insider Jay Glazer advised caution about reports linking Harbaugh to the team. The move comes as Miami prepares for broader organizational and roster changes.
Key developments:
- Miami hired Jon‑Eric Sullivan, a Green Bay Packers executive, as general manager.
- Fox NFL insider Jay Glazer said reports linking John Harbaugh to the Dolphins should be treated cautiously.
- Sullivan is expected to explore candidates with Green Bay ties, including former head coach Mike McCarthy and current Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley.
- Other reported candidates include Denver defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, who previously served as Miami's defensive coordinator in 2016.
- The Dolphins scheduled a Zoom interview with Seattle offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak and requested an interview with Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula.
- The organization is described as entering a transitional phase as it looks to move on from Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill and reset over the next year or two.

Sullivan is expected to lead the coaching search and has scheduled or requested interviews with several candidates. The team is also preparing wider roster and organizational changes as it moves into a transition period.
