MIAMI (AP) — The Miami Dolphins have begun their search for a coach who’s ready to lose this year.New England Patriots linebackers coach Brian Flores and Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy Michael Deiter Jersey Cheap , the first candidates to interview for the Dolphins’ job, met with them Friday. Owner Stephen Ross is seeking a replacement for Adam Gase , and wants to rebuild after a 7-9 season.The Dolphins are also expected to interview their special teams coach, Darren Rizzi; Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio; Dallas Cowboys secondary coach Kris Richard; and former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Munchak, now the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line coach.Gase, fired Monday after three seasons, led the Dolphins to the playoffs in his first year. That isn’t likely to happen with the new coach.Miami has finished with six to eight wins in nine of the past 10 years Michael Deiter Jersey Womens , and hasn’t won a playoff game since 2000. As a result, the 78-year-old Ross said, his win-now approach will change.“I would hope I don’t have to go 3-13,” Ross said this week. “But whatever it’s going to take, we’re going to build the organization with the right players.”The roster revamp is expected to include the departure of quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who has been with the team since 2012.Miami’s search is being led by general manager Chris Grier, who has been with the team for 19 years and took charge of football operations in this week’s organizational shake-up. Grier said he embraces Ross’ desire to take a long view in building the team.“It’s not about winning one year and then falling back Michael Deiter white jersey ,” Grier said. “We want to build this thing the right way, where it’s long sustained success where the fans are happy, Steve is happy and we’re winning for long periods of time.”Grier has said the Dolphins will investigate every avenue in pursuing a coach, and neither NFL experience nor head-coaching experience is a necessity. The next coach, who will report to Grier, will be Miami’s 10th since 2004, including three interim coaches.Bieniemy is in his sixth season with the Chiefs and his first as offensive coordinator. This season they led the NFL in points and yards. He also interviewed this week for the New York Jets’ head coaching job.Flores has been a Patriots assistant for 11 seasons and took over defensive play-calling a year ago after the departure of defensive coordinator Matt Patricia. Flores is also expected to interview for head coaching jobs with the Cleveland Browns and Denver Broncos. Darren Rizzi arrived for his job interview Friday with the Miami Dolphins backed by plenty of endorsements from the team’s former and current and players.He’s hoping to coach the future players.Rizzi Michael Deiter Miami Dolphins Jerseys , a long-time Dolphins assistant, joined a growing list of candidates to interview for their head coaching job when he met with owner Stephen Ross and general manager Chris Grier.The Dolphins also interviewed their offensive coordinator, Dowell Loggains, but he’s considered a dark horse among the six candidates.Rizzi joined the Miami staff in 2009 and has won the vocal support of such current and ex-Dolphins as Kiko Alonso, Kenyan Drake, Reggie Bush, Jarvis Landry and Pro Football Hall of Famer Jason Taylor.“Finally!!!” Landry tweeted when the news broke Rizzi was being considered for the job.“Guys love playing for him Miami Dolphins Jerseys Stitched ,” Bush tweeted.“It’s about time someone recognizes how good Darren Rizzi is,” Taylor added.Despite the kind words, New England Patriots linebackers coach Brian Flores and Dallas Cowboys secondary coach Kris Richard are considered favorites for the job. Ross and Grier have also interviewed New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Dennis Allen and Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy.Flores and Richard are with teams still in the playoffs, which may be why the Dolphins have yet to fill their vacancy. Six other teams have hired a new coach since the end of the regular season.The Dolphins seek a replacement for Adam Gase, fired last week and hired Wednesday as coach of the New York Jets. If the Dolphins don’t give Rizzi the job, there’s a good chance he’ll join Gase in New York.Rizzi has been Miami’s special teams coordinator since 2011, and has associate head coach since 2017.Loggains has been an NFL assistant since 2005 and joined the Dolphins this season Michael Deiter black jersey , when they ranked next to last in the league in yards.
