Her is why Heat's Erik Spoelstra is 'bummed out' about the coaching departures of Mike Tomlin and John Harbaugh.

The Falcons began their search after hiring former longtime quarterback Matt Ryan as president of football. Ryan is leading the searches for coach and general manager and is scheduled to have his first news conference in his newly created role on Tuesday. The new coach and GM will report to Ryan.

During his time with the Dolphins, McDaniel maximized the talent of several offensive players like Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, Aaron Brewer, and Jonnu Smith, who all had their best NFL seasons under the coach. That could be appealing to Atlanta given it already has an offensive core in place with Michael Penix Jr, Bijan Robinson, and Drake London.

Harbaugh is quite familiar with Dolphins owner Stephen Ross — who is close with Harbaugh’s brother Jim, because of their Michigan ties. But ultimately, John Harbaugh needs to feel comfortable with Miami’s GM. Along those lines, here’s what ESPN’s Jeff Darlington noted:

As John Harbaugh decides where his next stop will be following his exit from the Baltimore Ravens, he reportedly is hearing some influence from those in the New York Giants' circle.

This is what a full-court press from the Giants looks like in an effort to land their No. 1 target on the coaching market.

We should all get fired the way John Harbaugh got fired, with his employer’s competitors falling over themselves to hire him on the rebound. As it turned out, Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti did his now former head coach a pretty big favor.

Former Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh already has a long list of potential landing spots following his firing this past week.
