Dolphins Pushing For Gase?
Adam Gase is popular coaching candidate and the Dolphins are making a strong push to land him.
The Fins will make a strong, strong push for Adam Gase I'm told. Been locked on him for a while. Will try to keep from getting back to PHI

It certainly sounds like Gase will end up as a head coach this year.
McDaniels Wants Titans Job?
The Josh McDaniels didn't end well in Denver, but he's rebuilt his stock as offensive coordinator of the Patriots. It's only a matter of time before he gets another head coaching job. John Clayton of ESPN reports that McDaniels has interest in the Titans' job. McDaniels is a sharp offensive mind and could help develop QB Marcus Mariota.
Three Interviews For Hue Jackson
Jackson is a popular candidate this offseason and he has three interviews lined up for Sunday.

Jackson is drawing a ton of interest and he'll likely end up as a head coach somewhere.
Sean Payton Staying
Payton has been the subject of much intrigue early this offseason, as there have been rumors he could leave the Saints. However, he will remain with the Saints. He'd been linked to the Dolphins and 49ers jobs.
Gase Set Up Several Interviews?
Gase is wanted by several teams and he's one of the hottest coaching candidates out there.
Adam Gase is interviewing with the #Browns today, the #Dolphins tomorrow, the #Giants on Friday and has a 2nd round with the #Eagles soon.
— Rand Getlin (@Rand_Getlin) January 6, 2016
Gase impressed the Eagles enough in his first interview that he's getting a second. The only two open jobs he hasn't set up an interview with yet are the Titans and 49ers.
Giants Interview Updates
The Giants have already interviewed Ben McAdoo (more on him below) and have already set up two more interviews.
With John Mara in the city for LA Committee meetings, no #Giants interviews today. But Spagnuolo later this week (Thurs?), Gase is Friday.

Spagnuolo is the team's defensive coordinator and Adam Gase is the Bears' offensive coordinator. He's the coach every team is itching to interview.
McAdoo Interviewing With Eagles?
Giants offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo is well-regarded by the Giants and they aren't the only ones it seems.
Giants offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo will interview with the Eagles tomorrow. Met with the Giants yesterday. Of course, they know him.
— Paul Schwartz (@NYPost_Schwartz) January 6, 2016
The Giants don't want to lose McAdoo and they are seriously considering him to replace Tom Coughlin. The Eagles are in the process of searching for a replacement for Chip Kelly.
Doug Marrone Interviewing?
Marrone left his head coaching position with the Buffalo Bills last year and it's only a matter of time before he gets another head coaching job.
The #Giants will interview #Jaguars assistant head coach Doug Marrone on Saturday, source said, a day after his #Dolphins interview
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) January 6, 2016
Marrone is a candidate for both those jobs. He coached at Syracuse, so a return to New York makes some sense from a geographic standpoint. As does Miami, since he's currently coaching in Jacksonville.
Saints Losing A Coach?
While Sean Payton's status is slightly murky (he could leave for another head coaching job), the Saints could lose their QBs coach.
Sources tell FootballScoop Ball State has offered their head coaching position to Mike Neu https://t.co/sNnVtycOD5
— FootballScoop Staff (@FootballScoop) January 6, 2016
Neu is the QBs coach for the Saints. He also played QB for Ball State and was a graduate assistant there.
Browns Interviewing Former Secondary Coach
The Browns are looking for a coach to replace Mike Pettine and their search has led them to one of their former secondary coaches.
This is interesting. #Cowboys secondary coach Jerome Henderson will interview with the #Browns
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) January 6, 2016
Henderson has coached the secondary in Dallas since 2012. Before that, he was with Cleveland for three seasons. Henderson also coached with the Jets and played in the NFL.
