MIAMI — The Miami Dolphins are making progress in talks with Adam Gase to become their coach, a person connected to the team said Saturday.
The person provided the update on negotiations to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because no agreement has been reached with the Chicago Bears offensive coordinator. Gase would become the Dolphins' ninth coach since 2004.
Gase is the NFL's hottest coaching candidate among assistants. He has also interviewed with the Eagles, Browns and Giants and has been considered the front-runner for the Dolphins job.
At 37, Gase would become the league's young coach.
