After interviewing Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy once, the Dolphins were sufficiently impressed that they want to interview him again.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Dolphins have scheduled a second interview with McCoy, and that interview will take place with Dolphins owner Stephen Ross in New York on Thursday.

McCoy has already interviewed for the Dolphins head-coaching position once, in Miami.

After re-shaping his offense to capitalize on the skills of Tim Tebow, McCoy emerged as one of the hot assistants in the NFL during the regular season. The Raiders have also asked for permission to interview McCoy, and the Jaguars were interested in McCoy before deciding after the Broncos won their first playoff game that they didn’t want to wait until the Broncos’ season was over, and instead hiring Mike Mularkey.

UPDATE: Schefter also reports that Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin will get a second interview with Ross, as will Todd Bowles, who ended the season as the Dolphins’ interim head coach.
