Jeff Fisher has turned down the Dolphins, and now the team will move on to other candidates for their head-coaching job.
Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer completed an interview Tuesday. The Dolphins also have interviewed Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, Bears special teams coordinator Dave Toub, and Todd Bowles, who was Miami’s interim coach for the final three games this season after Tony Sparano was fired.
Zimmer has been an NFL defensive coordinator for 12 years and joined the Bengals in 2008. They made a surprising run to the playoffs this season, when Zimmer’s defense ranked seventh in yards allowed.
The Dolphins went 6-10 in 2011 and missed the playoffs for the ninth time in the past 10 years.
