It's Only Happened ONCE!
It looks increasingly likely the Dolphins will be searching for a new defensive coordinator this offseason.
Vance Joseph, a head-coaching candidate the past few years, has emerged as a popular target for several teams with vacancies. Miami coach Adam Gase said multiple organizations have requested permission to speak with him.
“There are going to be a great opportunities for him and whenever that time comes,” Gase said. “That’s a great thing for not only him, but our players on defense should be proud because one of the reasons why he’s getting that opportunity is they played well. They did some things that people didn’t really expect us to do and they were on board with what he was trying to accomplish.”
The NFL will not allow Joseph to officially interview until the Dolphins’ season is over. Assistants on teams that have a first-round bye and those on teams that didn’t make the playoffs are eligible now.
The Bills, Broncos, Jaguars, Chargers, 49ers and Rams are looking for a head coach.
Gase has zero concern about that being a distraction for Joseph as the Dolphins prepare to visit Pittsburgh on Sunday in the first round of the playoffs.
“Vance is somebody that I trust a lot,” Gase said. “I know what his focus is.”
Gase and the players also have praised Joseph’s demeanor and approach, both of which would serve him well as a head coach.
“What he’s brought is just that change in culture of telling the truth,” safety Michael Thomas said. “Guys are able to hold each other accountable, and he’s brought that mindset of doing your job right every single time. I commend him. I’ve learned so much and grown so much to where I’m not just a young guy flying around trying to make a play. I have a job to do, and I need to do it right all the time.

JOSEPH A HEAD COACHING CANDIDATE
While the Dolphins are preparing for their first-playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, six teams around the NFL now are looking for a new head coach and one of the names being mentioned as a candidate is Miami defensive coordinator Vance Joseph.
Head Coach Adam Gase didn’t mention specific teams, but he said Monday the Dolphins have been contacted by teams asking for permission to interview Joseph.
“When the right window is for him, I’m going to put it more in Vance’s court when those times are good for him,” Gase said. “Vance is somebody that I trust a lot. I know what his focus is. I know he’s trying to get corrected some of the things that went wrong yesterday. He’ll have the right approach to being able to handle this.”
Based on NFL rules, Joseph will be allowed to interview for head-coaching positions Jan. 15 if the Dolphins defeat the Steelers on Sunday or after their postseason run ends.
Joseph is in his first season as a defensive coordinator after spending the previous 10 seasons as a defensive backs coach with the 49ers (2006-10), Texans (2011-13) and Bengals (2014-15). He has played a major role in the Dolphins being able to rebound from a 1-4 start to reach the postseason.
“He’s done a good job putting those guys in the right position,” Gase said. “From where we started and how’ve grown through the year, guys being in and out, losing some key players, he’s done a good job trying to make the necessary changes throughout the year.”
