With their 2023 season now in the rearview, the Miami Dolphins are interviewing candidates for their defensive coordinator role, which was left open after the team mutually parted ways with Vic Fangio.

To this point, there have been five known coaches who will interview for the job – Brandon Staley, Bobby Babich, Ryan Slowik, Leslie Frazier and Anthony Campanile
