I promised surprises. Here's a surprise.
The Miami Dolphins are in talks with their first head coach search candidate as we speak, one day after concluding their season. The team is today meeting with former Atlanta Falcons head coach Mike Smith.
The Dolphins are not confirming this interview. The club's policy is to not discuss interviews until they are completed.
Smith, 56, was with the Falcons from 2008-14 and he compiled a 66-46 record and went to the playoffs four times in those seven seasons.
Smith did not coach in 2014 and so he was able to interview even before the season ended.
