Aditi Kinkhabwala reports that Steelers offensive line coach Mike Munchak turned down an interview request from the Dolphins for their head-coaching position.
Kinkhabwala adds that if Munchak leaves, and she isn’t certain he he will, it will be for the perfect fit.
On Sunday, Ian Rapoport reported that Munchak has emerged as the “early favorite” for the Broncos’ head-coaching job.
Before that, Adam Schefter mentioned that Munchak has “strong interest” in the Denver Broncos’ head-coaching job.
Schefter mentions that Munchak has both professional and personal ties to Denver and shares the same agent as Broncos executive VP John Elway. Beyond that, Munchak’s daughter and her family all live in Denver.
Last year, Munchak took his name out of the running for the Cardinals’ job, even though he was considered a top candidate for the job.
Munchak, 58, played 12 years in the NFL for the Houston Oilers. He was a nine-time Pro Bowl selection, four-time first-team All-Pro, and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2011.
Munchak began his NFL coaching career in 1994 with the Oilers as their offensive assistant/quality control coach and eventually worked his way up to being the Titans head coach in 2011. After Tennessee fired following his third season, Munchak agreed to become the Steelers’ offensive line coach in 2014.
