We have a lot of different threads about different candidates, but I thought it might help if had a central thread to discuss who has actually interviewed, as well as who is interviewing soon or on their way.
First off Salguero is reporting that Jason Licht VP of Pro Personnel in Arizona was the first interview today. Next Ian Rapport of NFLN is reporting that Omar Khan is on his way to Miami for an interview today.
Tom Gamble - Eagles Granted Permission
Omar Khan - Steelers Interviewed
Ray Farmer - Browns Interviewed
Jason Licht - Cardinals Interviewed
Lake Dawson - Titans Interviewed
Lionel Vital - Falcons Granted Permission
Marc Ross - Giants Granted Permission
Brian Gaine- Dolphins Interviewed

I updated the OP using Sumlit's idea to list all candidates and their current status. Let me know if I missed someone or need to fix something.

Unsuccessful franchises like the Jets should seek to model themselves after successful ones. They should find talent from those teams. The Miami Dolphins are not an example of a franchise to emulate. In fact, the Dolphins have been run worse than the Jets over the past five years. They have one winning season and zero Playoff wins. How involved was Gaine? According to this article, he has been Jeff Ireland's "right-hand man." If you like how the Dolphins have been run, a franchise that blows Draft picks, doesn't find impact players, makes dumb trades, and puts out mediocrity, Gaine is your man. -

Dawson officially interviewed today and Farmer yesterday. This means we have Gamble, Ross and Vital left.

I'm not a big Florio fan but for once he wrote a piece on the Phins which doesn't include a dig.
Some interesting little nuggets in it.

Why hasn't Xanders been added to the list?

Well here's a late development that I'm not sure how to read:
"NFL Network reported late tonight that the Dolphins have reached out to Vikings GM George Paton about their GM opening, but it's unclear if he will interview. (Pro Football Talk reported something similar earlier.) Paton previously worked for the Dolphins. Miami interviewed Detroit executive and former Broncos GM Brian Xanders on Wednesday."

Seems kinda odd they reached out to the Vikes GM "after" interviewing Xanders...me no like. -
Xanders's interview lasted two days. He's the only candidate they have spent two days with. Those that are projecting Farmer and Dawson as the favorites are only connecting dots. Carl Peterson hired Farmer in Kansas City and drafted Lake Dawson in KC. That's it. These guys have heard nothing from any sources that suggest anything. They are simply throwing out some ideas to get a jump on a story, and when the Dolphins hire someone else, it will be because they changed their minds a the last minute.....or they will create some story about how Farmer and Dawson didn't really want this job.
Florio is getting very creative with this idea that the Dolphins are planning on bringing in Bill Kuharich as well. -
None of these guys, with the exception of McCloughan who doesn't want to be a GM again, can put forth the resume that Brian Xanders has. Brian Xanders is by far the best candidate, and it is very encouraging that he has spent two days interviewing with the Dolphins. -

Oh nobody wants to run this franchise. Boo hoo. Aponte is the devil. Boo hoo. Philbin is an idiot. Boo hoo . Ross is a dolt. Boo hoo.
Come on in off the ledge. Sit down. Relax. We will have a new GM by the Senior Bowl. -
