"While Miami's defense has not been great in 2025-they rank in the 20s for points and yards allowed-part of that has been the collapse of a putrid offense and August additions failing to gel that have put more pressure on the unit; Weaver had this group in the top ten for points and yardage allowed in 2024. He's considered a scheme-adaptable, player-friendly defensive coach who can also be extremely blunt about the state of his defenses when they struggle, which fans would no doubt welcome."
"We're getting news already about the Atlanta Falcons lining up interviews for their head coaching vacancy, and Raheem Morris was fired less than 24 hours ago. As I said earlier today, I expect this team to move quickly, and they are doing just that. Per NFL insider Tom Pelissero, the Falcons have requested an interview with Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver for their vacancy."
Raheem Morris was fired less than 24 hours earlier and the Atlanta Falcons have already requested an interview with Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver. Weaver moved from a playing career as an NFL defensive lineman into coaching, serving as a defensive line coach, defensive coordinator, and assistant head coach with the Baltimore Ravens. Miami's defense struggled in 2025, ranking in the 20s for points and yards allowed, partly because of offensive collapse and failed roster additions, though Weaver's 2024 unit ranked in the top ten. Weaver is viewed as scheme-adaptable, player-friendly, and blunt about defensive performance, and he is expected to draw head-coaching interest despite Atlanta's offensive priority.
