Packers' Philbin interviews for Miami coaching job

Published: Jan 07, 2012 at 11:50 AM

MIAMI (AP) - Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin has completed an interview for the Miami Dolphins coaching job.

Former Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher remains the Dolphins top choice, but they may lose out to the St. Louis Rams. Both teams interviewed Fisher this week.

Philbin completed his interview Saturday. The Packers are top-seeded in the NFC playoffs and have a bye this weekend.

Philbin has been with the Packers since 2003 and has been offensive coordinator since 2007, although coach Mike McCarthy calls the plays.

The Dolphins have also interviewed Todd Bowles, who became interim coach when Tony Sparano was fired with three games left in the season, and Chicago Bears special teams coordinator Dave Toub.
