Dolphins to interview Saints co-defensive coordinator/DB coach Kris Richard for their DC job

He was previously defensive coordinator for the Seahawks.

With the Miami Dolphins in full-on offseason mode, they’re currently working on filling their defensive coordinator role which was left vacant when they fired Josh Boyer after their elimination from the postseason.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Dolphins have added a fourth confirmed candidate for the position, as they’ve requested to interview New Orleans Saints co-defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach Kris Richard.

Richard, 43, is a former player, who spent the 2005 season with Miami. He joined New Orleans’ staff back in 2021. Prior to that, he spent time with the Dallas Cowboys as defensive backs coach and passing-game coordinator (2018-19). His highest position was with the Seattle Seahawks from 2015-17 when he was the defensive coordinator.

Miami has also requested to interview Vic Fangio, Sean Desai and Anthony Campanile for the open position.
