Dolphins Request HC Interview With Lions DC Kelvin Sheppard
For the second-straight season, a Lions defensive coordinator could be on the move. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Dolphins have requested permission to interview Lions DC Kelvin Sheppard for their head coaching vacancy.

Sheppard doesn’t come with as much fanfare nor experience as Aaron Glenn did last offseason. The former third-round pick joined Detroit’s coaching staff as an OLBs coach in 2021, and he shifted to linebackers coach in 2022. He held that role for three seasons before earning the promotion to defensive coordinator ahead of the 2025 campaign.
Detroit’s defense took a step back with Sheppard at the helm, as the team’s points-per-game mark jumped from 20.1 in 2024 to 24.3 in 2025. This led some to speculate that the 38-year-old may not even retain his current role in 2026. However, coach Dan Campbell was quick to endorse his coordinator, noting that Sheppard has grown into the job throughout the year.
Further, Sheppard has a bit of an excuse thanks to the number of injuries on Detroit’s defense. Star safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph plus cornerbacks D.J. Reed, Terrion Arnold, and Ennis Rakestraw all spent time on injured reserve, with several of those players unavailable for the stretch run of the season. While injuries are only part of the reason for the Lions’ defensive regression, they seemingly also helped Sheppard maintain his reputation.
Now, he’ll have a chance to take the next step of his career in Miami. Sheppard actually had the most productive season of his playing career with the Dolphins in 2015, and he may be tasked with turning around a franchise that’s looking to return to their winning ways. The Dolphins currently have one of the shortest list of head coaching candidates in the league, although more names will surely be added over the next few days. The team’s current list of definitive and rumored targets includes:
- Anthony Campanile, defensive coordinator (Jaguars): Rumored candidate
- Jeff Hafley, defensive coordinator (Packers): Interview requested
- John Harbaugh, former head coach (Ravens): Contacted
- Klint Kubiak, offensive coordinator (Seahawks): Interviewed 1/10
- Mike McCarthy, former head coach (Cowboys): Rumored candidate
- Robert Saleh, defensive coordinator (49ers): Interview requested
- Chris Shula, defensive coordinator (Rams): Interview requested
- Kevin Stefanski, former head coach (Browns): Rumored candidate
- Adam Stenavich, offensive coordinator (Packers): Rumored candidate
Kevin Stefanski Seen As Second HC Choice For Giants, Falcons; Dolphins Interview Expected
A long list of John Harbaugh suitors exists with eight head coaching openings around the NFL. It would come as little surprise if the Super Bowl winner were to be the first domino to fall in this year’s hiring cycle. 
The Giants and Falcons are seen as the frontrunners for Harbaugh, though other suitors are in play as well. Earlier today, it was learned his first interview was completed with Atlanta. Both teams have Harbaugh atop their wishlists, but they also seem to share a backup plan.
Kevin Stefanski is seen among coaching candidates as Plan B for the Giants and Falcons, Connor Hughes of SNY reports. Whichever team is unable to hire Harbaugh is expected to turn its attention to Stefanski as a result. Of course, there are other potential landing spots in Stefanski’s case as well.
The former Browns HC was viewed by many as the top candidate on the market prior to Harbaugh’s dismissal. Stefanski would still represent an accomplished hire regardless of how the coaching landscape shakes out over the coming weeks. A two-time Coach of the Year winner, he would offer experience and a potential play-caller to any new team.
The Giants moved on from Brian Daboll midway through the 2025 season. General manager Joe Schoen is still in place, but finding early success with the team’s next head coaching hire will no doubt be critical with respect to his job security. Stefanski, 43, has already interviewed with the Giants and has recently been named as a candidate to watch closely regarding their opening.
Having moved on from Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot, the Falcons are the only team in the NFL with a vacancy at the head coach and general manager positions. Atlanta has brought in Matt Ryan as president of football operations, and with that hire having taken place the team will proceed on the other two fronts. The Falcons’ interest in Harbaugh speaks to their desire for a veteran staffer, so Stefanski represents a logical fallback option.
The Dolphins, meanwhile, are among the teams which have also been connected to Stefanski.No meeting has taken place between team and coach yet, but Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports one is expected in this case. As a coach who is not under contract, Stefanski is free to interview with suitors and accept a position at any time.
Titans Schedule Jonathan Gannon HC Interview; Gannon Books DC Meetings With Commanders, Cowboys
Jonathan Gannon could land on his feet soon. Following his ouster as Cardinals HC, the three-year leader has three interviews scheduled — one bringing an opportunity to stay on the HC tier.
The Titans are planning to meet with Gannon about their HC position Sunday, NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport reports. Prior to that, however, Gannon has two defensive coordinator meetings scheduled. He will meet with the Cowboys on Tuesday and Commanders on Thursday, Rapoport adds.
These NFC East gigs are rather interesting, seeing as Gannon trekked to Arizona after two seasons as the Eagles’ DC. The Cardinals position did not work out, and Gannon will consider heading back to the DC level. Having a head coaching interview set for days after the two DC meetings could throw a wrench into Gannon’s schedule, and a determination on how likely a Titans opportunity would be may need to be made with regards to potentially accepting a DC offer earlier.
Coming to Arizona after helming a top-tier Philadelphia defense, Gannon could not replicate that Eagles success with the Cardinals. The team struggled defensively this season, taking a step back from a 2024 season that appeared to feature a less talented unit. Gannon and Nick Rallis‘ defense ranked 29th in points and 27th in yardage. This came after the ’24 unit displayed improvement (15th, 21st) during an 8-9 season. Gannon’s third Arizona team tumbled to 3-14, and after some 11th-hour rumors the HC could keep his job, the team moved on while retaining Monti Ossenfort — hired along with Gannon in 2023 — as GM.
The Commanders have already made their move to replace Kliff Kingsbury, promoting David Blough to OC. That move came early, and it appeared it was partially made to keep Blough out of the Lions’ OC search. Washington has also interviewed two-year Tennessee DC Dennard Wilson for the job. Wilson coached with Gannon under Nick Sirianni in Philly from 2021-22, with a request sent to Raiders DC Patrick Graham.
The Cowboys attempted to schedule a Jeff Ulbrich interview, but the Falcons blocked it. Dallas has met with the Browns’ Ephraim Banda and Vikings’ Daronte Jones about the job. The team is looking for a leader on this side of the ball for a third straight offseason — after both Mike Zimmer and Matt Eberflus went one-and-done. The Eagles ranked 10th in scoring defense in 2021 and second in 2022, giving Gannon momentum he used to vault into the Cardinals’ HC chair.
With the Titans having two-plus months to plan their HC search, it is predictably wide-ranging. Gannon runs the count to 17 candidates who have either interviewed or received a request. This does not include John Harbaugh, whom the organization wants to interview. Gannon, 43, would be a dark-horse candidate to land a head coaching job after going 3-14. Even him having the chance to interview for one is notable, but that is on tap.
Dolphins Contact John Harbaugh; Troy Aikman Assisting In HC Search
JANUARY 12: The Dolphins are not seen as a frontrunner for Harbaugh at this time, although Jackson reports further contact between the parties will take place. Whether or not Miami winds up as a finalist remains to be seen, but the team is among Harbaugh’s many suitors as things stands.
JANUARY 10: The Dolphins considered a trade for then-Ravens head coach John Harbaugh in 2019. No deal came together, though, and Harbaugh remained in Baltimore for the long haul. Seven years later, the Dolphins are in the market for a head coach again. With Harbaugh a free agent after the Ravens fired him this week, he’s back on Miami’s radar. The Dolphins contacted Harbaugh and informed him of their interest, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The Dolphins became the seventh team to reach out to Harbaugh since he lost his job on Tuesday, Albert Breer of SI.com reports. That means every club without a head coach (excluding Baltimore, of course) has contacted Harbaugh. The Cardinals, Falcons, Browns, Raiders, Giants and Titans are also in the market.
The Giants, Dolphins, Titans and Falcons look like the most realistic fits for Harbaugh, Breer observes, but interest in the 63-year-old extends beyond clubs with head coach openings. Harbaugh has heard from “at least nine other teams,” Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald writes.
Playoff participants such as Buffalo and Green Bay have come up as potential landing spots for Harbaugh. The Packers, however, seem likely to work out a contract extension with Matt LaFleur. That would rule out Harbaugh joining the Pack.
Harbaugh, who will begin interviewing next week, hasn’t booked anything with the Dolphins yet, Jackson reports. Considering the Harbaugh family has a “longtime relationship” with Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him wind up as a front-runner for the position. However, a lack of clarity at quarterback could hurt the Dolphins’ cause.
Harbaugh enjoyed remarkable stability under center throughout his 18-year tenure in Baltimore, first with Joe Flacco and then Lamar Jackson. Thanks in large part to an incredible playoff run from Flacco, the Ravens capped off the 2012 season with a Super Bowl victory. The Ravens haven’t won a championship since then, but Jackson has been an elite QB who has twice earned MVP honors since his first full season in 2019.
Meanwhile, the Dolphins and new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan will have to figure out how to proceed with Tua Tagovailoa. While Tagovailoa is open to a fresh start, he’s owed a guaranteed $54MM in 2026. Releasing Tagovailoa would cost the Dolphins a record $99.2 in dead money, though designating him a post-June 1 cut would enable to spread that total over two seasons. Still, it would be a less-than-ideal situation for Harbaugh or anyone else who may replace the ousted Mike McDaniel as the Dolphins’ next sideline leader.
Miami’s head coach hiring will come with input from Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman, who will stay on in an advisory role, Jackson relays. The Dolphins first brought the “Monday Night Football” broadcaster in to assist in a GM search that ended with Sullivan’s hiring. The team appreciated Aikman’s “diligence and effort” during the process, per Jackson. The former Cowboy will now have some say over the HC position, though Sullivan and Ross will lead the way.
In the event the Dolphins don’t hire Harbaugh, Jackson identifies Packers coordinators Jeff Hafley (defense) and Adam Stenavich (offense), former Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski, ex-Packers and Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy and Jaguars D-coordinator Anthony Campanile as names to watch. Sullivan, who spent over two decades in Green Bay, has worked with Hafley, Stenavich and McCarthy. Campanile was Miami’s linebackers coach from 2020-23.
Bills Designate Ed Oliver, Curtis Samuel For Return From IR
The Bills are in the divisional round for the sixth straight season, defeating the Jaguars to book a trip to Denver. They could have a key reinforcement back for that game.
Ed Oliver will return to practice this week, Sean McDermott said (via the Buffalo News’ Jay Skurski). The veteran defensive tackle has been out since suffering a biceps tear in October. Oliver also underwent knee surgery recently. He is eligible for an IR activation, though the two-injury component could add a potential complication.
[RELATED: Injured Reserve Return Tracker]
Buffalo will also open Curtis Samuel‘s practice window, according to McDermott. Elbow and knee maladies sidelined Samuel in late November, but the 2024 free agency pickup has not been a key part of Buffalo’s passing attack this season. Despite the Bills needing wide receiver help pretty much since the Stefon Diggs trade, Samuel has been an afterthought.
One player who will not factor into the Bills’ receiving equation against the Broncos will be Gabe Davis, whom McDermott said (via Skurski) suffered an ACL tear against the Jaguars. Davis, whom the Jags cut shortly after the draft, rejoined the Bills on a practice squad deal before being signed to the active roster. He is on a one-year, $1.17MM deal — the veteran minimum for Davis’ service time.
Another Bills injury area to monitor: safety. The team will not have Jordan Poyer against the Broncos, with McDermott indicating the veteran defender will be out for the divisional round due to a hamstring injury. The Bills used Jordan Hancock in place of Poyer once he went down in Jacksonville, but Damar Hamlin is in the IR-return window. Hamlin has not played since early October because of a pectoral injury.
The Bills’ run defense has suffered greatly this season, ranking 28th. Oliver’s absence has obviously hurt here. The veteran defensive tackle missed time due to an ankle injury sustained in Week 1 but did not land on IR as a result. In his second game back from that issue, Oliver sustained the biceps tear. A postseason return was rumored, however. Though, that report came before a confirmed knee surgery. Oliver, 28, is attempting to finish off a three-injury season by helping in some capacity.
Oliver suffered a setback in late December, and a New Year’s Day report revealed he underwent a meniscus cleanup surgery. Oliver returning for the Broncos matchup or a possible AFC championship game date would presumably involve a reduced role, but any return would help a Buffalo defense that has withstood a number of maladies. The team played its wild-card game without recently extended linebacker Terrel Bernard and first-round cornerback Maxwell Hairston.
Prior to his injuries, Samuel caught just seven passes for 81 yards over six games. The Bills gave the ex-Panthers and Commanders wideout a three-year, $24MM deal in 2024. The contract reunited Samuel with ex-Carolina OC Joe Brady, but Samuel has been among Buffalo’s misses at receiver over the past two years. After a failed attempt to acquire Jaylen Waddle at the deadline, the Bills added Brandin Cooks and Mecole Hardman. Davis had rejoined the team, after disappointing on a $13MM-per-year deal in Jacksonville, just before the season.
Poyer came back after training camp following a year with the Dolphins. The Bills have turned to their former starter as a first-stringer once again, deploying him alongside Cole Bishop after Taylor Rapp‘s season-ending injury. Poyer, 34, is likely to retire at season’s end. While it will be interesting to see who the Bills start in Round 2, they will need to win in order for Poyer to continue his career.
Extension For GM George Paton On Broncos’ Radar?
The Broncos have drawn a rather difficult assignment for a No. 1 seed in a divisional round, entering their playoff opener as underdogs to the No. 6-seeded Bills. Regardless of that game’s result, however, the team has completed a remarkable turnaround considering the past two years have seen a record-setting dead money bill (from the Russell Wilson release) appear on its cap sheets.
Denver has recovered from both the Wilson trade and extension and the regrettable 2022 Nathaniel Hackett hire to go 14-3 and book its first No. 1 seed since 2015. Sean Payton replaced Hackett effectively, and while the high-profile head coach is the Broncos’ top decision-maker now, GM George Paton remains a central part of the team’s operation. Paton was in the GM chair for the Hackett and Wilson decisions, making his status on this resurgent team impressive considering he had no past with Payton prior to engineering the 2023 trade for the HC’s rights.
[RELATED: Assessing Extensions’ Impact On Broncos’ Turnaround]
Installed as Broncos GM when John Elway kicked stepped down in January 2021, Paton is on a six-year contract. He will enter a lame-duck year in 2026, but ESPN.com’s Jeremy Fowler points to an extension being on the Broncos’ radar. Fowler indicates signs point to Paton remaining in Denver. It would take an extension for that to happen, but considering the success the Broncos have attained despite Wilson counting $32MM on their 2025 cap, it would surprise if the Payton-Paton tandem separated.
Rumblings about Payton bringing in someone he was more familiar with circulated in 2023, but nothing has come out about a potential split since. The Broncos secured a second straight playoff berth this season, going 14-3, and Paton’s extensions and draft picks have been a key part of this equation. Paton’s first draft (2021) brought Patrick Surtain, Quinn Meinerz and Jonathon Cooper to Denver; all have since been extended. The GM’s second draft lacked a first-round pick (thanks to the disastrous Wilson trade), but Nik Bonitto arrived in Round 2. Denver’s most notable draft choice during this period, Bo Nix, is tied more to Payton. But Paton engineered the route to land the Oregon prospect at No. 12, closing out a six-QB first round.
The Broncos extended Surtain, Meinerz and Cooper in 2024 and paid Bonitto, Zach Allen and Courtland Sutton this offseason. Sutton earned his second Pro Bowl nod this season, while Allen and Meinerz were first-team All-Pros. The Broncos have most of these players on team-friendly extensions, with Paton finalizing extensions for Surtain before his Defensive Player of the Year season and Meinerz before his 2024 All-Pro cameo.
Were the Broncos and Paton to split, Fowler adds the veteran exec — previously the Vikings’ assistant GM — would become a coveted GM candidate. Paton, who had withdrawn his name from the Browns’ GM search in 2020, was given time to turn things around in Denver. Now that he has, he has done well to restore his reputation with the Broncos and around the league.
Ravens Request HC Interview With Jim Schwartz
The Ravens have already spoken with Kevin Stefanski about their head coaching vacancy. He is not the only member of the 2025 Browns staff on the team’s radar, however.
Baltimore has submitted an interview request with Jim Schwartz, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Cleveland’s highly-regarded defensive coordinator remains under contract with the team at this point. Schwartz interviewed with the Browns for their own HC position last week, but this marks the first request from an outside suitor.
From 1993-95, Schwartz worked with Cleveland in the personnel department. He was among the personnel who moved to Baltimore when the inaugural edition of the Browns became the Ravens beginning in 1996. Schwartz – a Baltimore native – worked as a defensive assistant with the team for three years. The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec notes he still has several relationships with people inside the Ravens organization.
Over time, Schwartz has become one of the league’s top defensive minds. A defensive coordinator with the Titans (2001-8), Bills (2014), (2016-20) and Browns (2023-present), he has an extensive track record at the NFL level. The 59-year-old also has head coaching experience dating back to his five-year run leading the Lions. That Detroit tenure ended after the 2013 season with an overall record of just 29-51.
Expectations would be much higher the second time around if Schwartz were to take charge of the Ravens, a team seen as one of the top landing spots for HC candidates. Baltimore has been connected to a number of former head coaches while seeking out John Harbaugh‘s replacement. That includes interest in staffers with an offensive and defensive background, even in a year relatively lacking in options who have previously called plays on offense.
Via PFR’s Head Coaching Search Tracker, here is an updated look at the Ravens’ search:
- Joe Brady, offensive coordinator (Bills): Interview requested
- Brian Flores, defensive coordinator (Vikings): To interview
- Vance Joseph, defensive coordinator (Broncos): Interviewed 1/8
- Kliff Kingsbury, former offensive coordinator (Commanders): Interviewed 1/12
- Klint Kubiak, offensive coordinator (Seahawks): Interviewed 1/9
- Mike McDaniel, former head coach (Dolphins): To interview
- Jesse Minter, defensive coordinator (Chargers): Interview requested
- Matt Nagy, offensive coordinator (Chiefs): Interviewed 1/11
- Robert Saleh, defensive coordinator (49ers): Interview requested
- Nate Scheelhaase, pass-game coordinator (Rams): Interview requested
- Jim Schwartz, defensive coordinator (Browns): Interview requested
- Chris Shula, defensive coordinator (Rams): Interview requested
- Kevin Stefanski, former head coach (Browns): Interviewed 1/9
- Anthony Weaver, defensive coordinator (Dolphins): To interview 1/12
- Davis Webb, quarterbacks coach (Broncos): Interviewed 1/8
Browns Request HC Interview With Jaguars’ Grant Udinski
Liam Coen understandably garnered the most praise for the Jaguars’ turnaround that produced a 12-5 season, but offensive coordinator Grant Udinski certainly played a key role as well. Teams have paid attention to Trevor Lawrence‘s resurgence with regards to Udinski’s status.
Coming up as a potential HC candidate weeks ago, Udinski is indeed on the radar. The Browns have requested an interview with the young OC, NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero tweets. Udinski is just 30 (today), but he already made the jump from assistant QBs coach to OC last year.
[RELATED: 2026 HC Search Tracker]
The Jaguars hired Udinski from his assistant QBs coach role in Minnesota. Although Udinski is a non-play-calling OC, the Jags going from 4-13 to 12-5 turned heads. With teams seeing how Coen and Ben Johnson turned their teams around in Year 1, more interest in offense-oriented HC candidates is logical. Udinski qualifies, even though his experience level falls short in most respects.
Udinski only leapt onto the position coaching level in 2023, being an assistant to Kevin O’Connell in the two years prior. He began his NFL career as a coaching assistant prior to that, following Matt Rhule from Baylor to Carolina in 2020. While Rhule did not work out with the Panthers and is back at the college level, teams took notice in Udinski last year. The Texans, Patriots, Seahawks and Buccaneers each interviewed Udinski for OC positions in 2025. He conducted two interviews with Seattle before becoming Jacksonville’s OC.
The Giants were believed to have Udinski on their HC radar this offseason, though no request has emerged yet. With the Jags now eliminated, Udinski is free to interview. Had Jacksonville defeated Buffalo on Sunday, he would have needed to wait until Wednesday to do a remote interview. Free of restrictions, Udinski most likely will meet about possibly succeeding Kevin Stefanski — who was also a Vikings staffer, albeit before Udinski arrived — in Cleveland.
Texans Will Pick Up QB C.J. Stroud’s Fifth-Year Option; Team To Discuss Offseason Extension
For now, the Texans’ attention is focused on their upcoming wild-card game and any further playoff contests which follow. Once the season is over, a number of notable contract decisions will need to be made. 
This offseason will mark the first point at which 2023 draftees can sign extensions. That means quarterback C.J. Stroud and defensive end Will Anderson could land new contracts relatively soon. At a minimum, a choice on the fifth-year option for both players will need to be made by the spring. Neither case should prove to be particularly difficult on that front.
To no surprise, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network confirms the Texans will exercise Stroud’s option (video link). That comes as no surprise given the 24-year-old’s success early in his career. Houston advanced to the divisional round of the playoffs in each of Stroud’s first two seasons, and a win tonight will extend that streak to three years. Exercising the option will set Stroud up for $26.53MM in 2027.
A long-term pact will of course cost much more than that. Per Rapoport, the Texans will weigh the possibility of working out a second contract this offseason against waiting until after the 2026 campaign is over. The market currently contains 11 passers attached to an average annual value of $51MM or more. Stroud can be expected to join that group whenever his next Texans contract is in place. The status of negotiations will make for a central Texans offseason storyline.
Stroud was selected second overall in the 2023 draft. Houston traded up to the No. 3 spot to add Anderson. Expectations were high in his case as a result, but the former Defensive Rookie of the Year has developed into a major factor in his team’s success. Anderson reached double-digit sacks for the first time in 2024, and he set a new career high in that department this season with 12. That production helped land him a first-team All-Pro nod along with the second Pro Bowl invitation of his career.
Houston will also look into an Anderson extension this offseason, Rapoport adds. In November, it was reported the Texans were expected to explore an early agreement on this front. Picking up Anderson’s fifth-year option will tie him to a 2027 salary of $15.28MM. An extension could move the Alabama product near the top of the pass rush market, one which is currently paced by Micah Parsons at $46.5MM per year.
Working out an agreement with either Stroud or Anderson will of course significantly alter the Texans’ cap outlook for years to come. A strong core is in place, but maintaining it will become more challenging as their respective costs increase. Massive new deals being finalized in either case will come as no surprise, but the timing on both fronts will be interesting to monitor.
Raiders Request Jesse Minter HC Interview; Giants Interview Slip Expected
Jesse Minter did not receive any interview requests last year, but after the Chargers continued their defensive momentum this season, the two-year NFL DC is flooded with interview slips.
After the Browns, Ravens and Titans sent them in, NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport reports the Raiders want to meet with Minter as well. The Raiders had been a rumored Minter suitor. Tom Brady and GM John Spytek‘s Michigan pasts certainly make them a team to watch for the former Wolverines national championship-winning DC.
[RELATED: 2026 NFL Head Coaching Search Tracker]
In addition to the Raiders, NFL.com’s Mike Garafolo expects the Giants to submit Minter an interview slip. In a scenario we highlighted back in September, Minter repeating his 2024 defensive success would likely lead to widespread interest and possibly a Los Angeles departure. Though, Minter is among a handful of rising defensive coordinators on this year’s market.
Now that the Chargers have been eliminated, Minter is free to speak with teams about HC vacancies. The Raiders just went defense with their HC position a year ago, hiring Pete Carroll. But Minter would profile as a different type of defensive leader, with the age gap being perhaps the most notable component here.
Minter is 42, whereas Carroll set a record for oldest NFL HC this past season by coaching games at 74. The Raiders chased Ben Johnson last year in hopes he would become their long-term leader. A three-year Carroll contract followed. With Carroll a one-and-done, Minter is now among the names Las Vegas is considering.
The Giants look to have their sights squarely set on John Harbaugh, and recent reports tabbed them as one of the early favorites. Minter would profile as a different option, with Harbaugh 63, but his coaching development has come under the Harbaugh brothers — in Baltimore, Ann Arbor and Los Angeles. Minter would make for an interesting Giants option through this lens. The Giants have not hired a defense-based HC since Tom Coughlin in 2004.
