From Maxx Crosby:

The Baltimore Ravens have requested permission to interview Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver for their head-coaching vacancy, per source.

The Browns have requested to interview Bengals OC Dan Pitcher for their head-coaching vacancy, per source.

The Dolphins have met with several GM candidates, and while conversations about a Miami future that includes Mike McDaniel are taking place, I’m told decision makers have been pushing in interviews to hear candidates’ thoughts on a new head coach as well.

Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy will be interviewing with both the Titans and Raiders tomorrow, and the Cardinals on Friday, per source.

Games and moments like Saturday night against the Packers are why Ben Johnson came to the Bears, writes @danwiederer.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/694...

John Harbaugh has interest from most teams with head coaching vacancies, but notably, I’m told calls are also coming in from a few teams that currently have a head coach in place. Lots of discussions going down tonight. Harbaugh will be at the top of many teams’ wishlists.

More details from Jeff:

A statement from John Harbaugh, via the Ravens:

Amid recent leaguewide buzz about Kliff Kingsbury’s future, many believe Baltimore, with Lamar Jackson, would be an ideal landing spot for the now former Commanders offensive coordinator. That will be a name to watch.

A key pressure point in the John Harbaugh dismissal, according to those familiar with today’s discussions, was his refusal to entertain any conversations about potentially moving on from offensive coordinator Todd Monken.

Let the John Harbaugh sweepstakes begin…
