Ravens, Dolphins, Titans' Top HC Candidates After Kevin Stefanski, Falcons Agree to Contract

Multiple teams will need to pivot in their head coaching search now that Kevin Stefanski has been hired by the Atlanta Falcons.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported Saturday that the Miami Dolphins, Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans "all showed very strong interest" in Stefanski prior to him joining the Falcons.

Stefanski also dropped out of candidacy for the Las Vegas Raiders head coaching job last week, Russini reported.

The Cleveland Browns fired Stefanski after the franchise went a combined 8-26 over the last two seasons amid uncertainty at quarterback.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported that the Titans and Ravens had both wanted a second interview with Stefanski.

Those two teams, alongside the Dolphins and Raiders, could now turn their attention to other candidates.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Saturday that the Miami Dolphins have set up a second interview with Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley.

The Titans have also set up a second interview with Hafley alongside another talk with Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, according to Russini.

The Raiders are bringing in Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero for a second interview, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

The Dolphins have also completed interviews with Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula, Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile, San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter and Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.

The Ravens have some overlap with the Dolphins and Titans, considering that the team has also interviewed Nagy, Shula, Minter and Kubiak.

Baltimore has also conducted a long list of interviews with candidates including Los Angeles Rams passing coordinator Nate Scheelhaase, Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores, former Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, Denver Broncos pass game coordinator Davis Webb, Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph and Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver.

Both the Ravens and Raiders have additionally held or scheduled interviews with former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel.

The Ravens have also reportedly scheduled interviews with Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady and 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh.

These four teams may need to move fast now that two of the most experienced head coaching candidates are off the board following Stefanski's hiring by the Falcons and John Harbaugh's agreement to join the New York Giants.
