Dolphins name Duggan to run Hafley’s defensive scheme

The Miami Dolphins have hired Sean Duggan, Packers linebackers coach and Hafley ally, as their new defensive coordinator, replacing Anthony Weaver. Hafley will call the defense but wants a coordinator who knows his system, and Duggan has previously worked with Hafley at Ohio State, Boston College, and Green Bay. The staff change comes as the Dolphins largely settle their coaching team, and it also affects compensatory-pick opportunities tied to Weaver’s head-coaching candidacies elsewhere, with the Raiders and Cardinals reportedly pursuing other candidates (Klint Kubiak and Mike LaFleur).

Steelers Expand Head-Coach Search With Veterans and Rising Coordinators

The Steelers have moved into Phase 2 of their head-coach search, conducting in-person interviews with Brian Flores and Mike McCarthy and virtual interviews with Klay Kubiak, Chris Shula, Nathan Scheelhaase, Jesse Minter and Ejiro Evero (Jeff Hafley had interviewed virtually before taking the Dolphins job). Analysts summarize the contenders: Flores as a top defensive mind, McCarthy as a stabilizing veteran with extensive QB experience, and a crop of younger coordinators from the McVay/Shanahan trees (plus Evero) as potential fits for Pittsburgh.

Steelers Target Overlooked NFL Veteran Anthony Weaver for Head Coach Job

The Steelers are advancing their head-coach search by inviting Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver to a second in-person interview. At 45, Weaver brings 14 NFL coaching seasons and a proven defensive track record, including a Dolphins defense that ranked fourth in yards allowed (just over 314 per game) in 2025, making him an overqualified, potentially transformative fit to energize Pittsburgh’s defense.

"Anthony Weaver's Impact on Miami Dolphins Defense"

Anthony Weaver, the new defensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins, aims to bring flexibility and multiple looks to the team's defense, drawing from his experience with the Baltimore Ravens. He plans to utilize star cornerback Jalen Ramsey as a versatile "chess piece" rather than confining him to a specific position. Weaver also expressed interest in coaching defensive tackle Christian Wilkins and emphasized the importance of intentional blitzing. With key players returning from injuries, including Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb, the Dolphins are looking to Weaver to elevate their defense and help the team make a deeper playoff run under head coach Mike McDaniel.

Miami Dolphins' general manager Chris Grier must ensure new defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver is involved in player decisions to align with his defensive philosophy, despite financial constraints and high-profile injuries. Grier's history of independent decision-making and trade value prowess raises concerns about Weaver's influence. The trio's collaboration will be crucial in shaping the team's defensive focus in the upcoming draft and navigating the cap situation.
