HALEY DECLINES DOLPHINS INTERVIEW by Michael David Smith
In another sign that people in league circles think the Dolphins have already decided to hire Tony Sparano as their coach, Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley has declined the Dolphins' interview request and decided to remain in Arizona.
According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, Haley cancelled his trip to Miami, where he was supposed to interview for the head-coaching position, and instead signed a contract extension with the Cardinals through the 2010 season.
Haley was a Cowboys assistant from 2004 to 2006 and worked in Dallas with Sparano and the new bosses in Miami, Bill Parcells and Jeff Ireland.
Although Haley has not publicly explained his decision to turn the Dolphins down, it stands to reason that if he thought he really had a chance to get a head-coaching job, he would interview for it.
