Dolphins to interview Tomlin

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel said the Miami Dolphins have received permission to talk to Vikings defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin.
Interestingly, we've pointed out before, Tomlin also could emerge as a candidate in Pittsburgh, where long-time coach Bill Cowher resigned today.
All signs point to offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt taking the job in Atlanta. He is from there, and he attended Georgia Tech. The Falcons may push hard for Whisenhunt because he is known for being creative on offense, and he could be the man to get Michael Vick playing at a consistent level.
If he is out of the picture in Pittsburgh, suddenly Tomlin's opponents there don't seem so stiff. Know this about Tomlin: he is charismatic. And Dan Rooney, the team chairman, will give everyone who interviews a legitimate chance to win him over.
There won't be any token interviews in Pittsburgh.
