The Miami Dolphins were supposed to be all-in on John Harbaugh. They never even got to interview him. Instead, he never left New York. They were interested in adding Matt LaFleur, but he got a new deal to stay in Green Bay. Kevin Stefanski? Yes, they were interested in setting up a second interview with him for next week.

The Dolphins interviewed the former Browns coach last week, but now, they won't get a second opportunity. As is typically the case, the Dolphins dragged their heels, and now Stefanski is heading to the Atlanta Falcons.

Reports on Saturday indicated that the Dolphins were not 100% ready to hand the keys to Jeff Hafley of the Packers. That report stated that they would look at Stefanski a lot closer. It doesn't matter anymore, however.

Miami Dolphins miss opportunity for second Kevin Stefanski interview after he joins the Falcons

Atlanta met with the coach on Saturday and made sure he didn't leave the building without the job. In Miami, the group of six that will make the decision on the next head coach is continually steering the ship back toward Hafley. The Falcons' social media team announced it on Saturday night.

Miami has requested to interview Chris Shula and several others, but at this point, everyone is pointing at Hafley as the next guy to coach the team. It isn't guaranteed, however.
