Kevin Coyle's Interview Set For Miami On Wednesday
Not only is Cincinnati's defensive backs coach Kevin Coyle interviewing for Miami's defensive coordinator's job, he appears to be a front runner for the position as well, according to Omar Kelly of the Sun Sentinel. Early Tuesday morning Alex Marvez reported that the Miami Dolphins were granted permission to speak with Coyle and that interview will take place on Wednesday, according to NFL Network Insider Jason La Canfora.
How Coyle received consideration in the first place, beyond the apparent league-wide respect, could be Mike Zimmer. Fox Sports Florida conjectured that the Miami Dolphins took a greater look at Cincinnati's coaching staff when Zimmer was in consideration for the head coaching position that former Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin filled.
As for the Bengals allowing permission for Coyle to interview for the job, we can only surmise two probabilities. One the Bengals are fairly confident that Zimmer will return in 2012 -- Coyle was expected to be heavily considered to replace him. Or more likely the team wanted to give Coyle a chance for expansion as a defensive coordinator and having already rejected an opportunity once, they felt somewhat compelled to give him another shot that surfaced this offseason.

Damn first person came to mind
If nothing else every db would wanna play for him. Deion wouldn’t accept his secondary giving up tds at end of half and games. But on real note I’ll go get db coach from vt, there secondary is best coach I’ve seen at any level.

Deion Loves The Booth and the Camera
He would never leave the Camera’s to coach.
They don’t call him “Prime Time” for nothing (guy carries a compact mirror in his pocket).

what about Zimmers son
would he ever leave if his son was on staff???

I don’t want to see Marvin fired, I want him to be promoted to G.M. while handing the reigns over to Zimmer as head coach and hiring Jack Del Rio as Defensive Coordinator. Who Dey!!!

With the Saints, Zimmer's son was the assistant linebacker's coach.
Paul Brown Stadium, where everyone's hopes go to die.
i know
but I’m pretty sure Sean Payton would let him leave to be with his Dad
