Dolphins’ Mike McDaniel regime in Miami reaching its lowest point | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC
THIS WEEK AND HE’S GOING TO, AND THIS WEEK AND HE’S GOING TO, UH, WE DON’T, UM, THROW 10 PICKS YEAH, THAT WOULD BE UH, A WISE EDICT FROM HEAD COACH MIKE, DANIEL AND THE REASON THAT IT WAS EVEN A QUESTION IT WAS RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE, RIGHT? OUT OF THE GATES AND THE REPORTER ALMOST ASKED IT LIKE IN JOURNALISM, YOU’RE TOLD TO NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING IS TO IS STILL YOUR STARTING QUARTERBACK. MCDANIELS A GUY WHO SAID ON THE TABLE. AND IT DIDN’T REALLY STAND OUT BECAUSE MCDANIEL HAS THIS HABIT, WHICH IS REFRESHING WHEN THEY’RE WINNING AND ANNOYING AS HELL WHEN THEY’RE LOSING OF JUST KIND OF FILIBUSTERING HIS WAY THROUGH AND LONG ANSWERS. AND BUT HE SAID, EVERYTHING IS ON THE TABLE. AFTER TUA, TANGO IS 3 PICK PERFORMANCE ON SUNDAY. SO IT’S A FAIR QUESTION, YOU DON’T HAVE TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR ASKING A FAIR QUESTION IS TO IS STILL YOUR QUARTERBACK. YOU SAID EVERYTHING’S ON THE TABLE. EVERYTHING. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? EVERYTHING? WHAT’S NOT ON THE TABLE? NOTHING. SO I JUST THE FACT THAT EVEN WENT THERE, IT IT JUST TELLS YOU THEY’VE REACHED 11 XOR WITH THE SITUATION AS THEY SHOULD THEY’RE 1 AND 6 AND IT’S ALMOST LIKE 2 IS 2 OF THERE WERE TIMES WHERE IT’S LIKE YOU JUST DOESN’T CARE. YEAH. I MEAN THE 1 FROM HIS OWN END ZONE WAS LIKE I’M ABOUT TO GET HIT, I’M ABOUT TO GET HIT SOMEBODY. SOMEBODY AND JUST I MEAN IT’S IT’S THIS PANIC BECAUSE I THE THING FOR ME WITH BOTH THESE GUYS RIGHT NOW, LESS IS MORE. PRESS CONFERENCES AND I SAW THE 1 FROM SUNDAY AFTER THE GAME. AND LIKE YOU SAID, IT’S LIKE A PAUSE IN BETWEEN AND IT’S LIKE, YOU KNOW, THIS GUY AND, YOU KNOW, AND YOU DON’T REALLY SAY ANYTHING. AND THEN YOU LOOK AND AFTER YOU SAID A LOT AND EVEN TO AFTER THE GAME WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT HE’S TRYING TO BRING GUYS ALONG AND ALSO TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, PLAY THE WAY HE LIKE NO, LIKE, HEY, I DIDN’T PLAY WELL TODAY, I GOTTA PLAY BETTER NEXT WEEK AS MUCH AS EVERYBODY HATES THOSE ANSWERS. THAT’S JUST THE, THAT’S THE SIMPLE TRUTH. WHEN YOU START GETTING IN HERE, LIKE, I HATE IT TOO. IS SAYING THAT. LIKE, AS I’M TRYING TO BRING GUYS ALONG, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? YOU’RE NOT PLAYING WELL SO ARE YOU TRYING TO BRING GUYS ALONG TO NOT PLAY WELL, OR YOU JUST BEING A NORMAL LEADER, DOING WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO WHICH FIRST STARTS WITH YOUR PERFORMANCE FROM MIKE MCDARGH. HEY WE’RE NOT GONNA MAKE ANY RASH DECISION OR GO BACK ON. WATCH THE FILM. YES, WE CAN’T TURN THE BALL OVER. WE’RE NOT GOING TO SAY ANYTHING OR MAKE ANY GAME, BUT I THINK WITH THE PRESSURE NOT WINNING, THEY GET STUCK IN THESE IN THESE PRESS CONFERENCE AND THEY JUST TALK TOO MUCH. THEY JUST SAY TOO MANY THINGS IN IT. COMPLETELY AND THIS IS THE THE LOWEST POINT THAT THE MIKE MCDANIEL REGIME HAS EXPERIENCED. AND I JUST WONDER WHERE IT’S GOING TO GO FROM HERE, THE STORM CLOUDS SEEM TO BE GATHERING OVER MCDANIEL AND GM, CHRIS GREER. THE REPORTS EMERGED FROM NFL MEDIA ON MONDAY, THAT NO CHANGES ARE EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. BUT YOU KNOW, THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN IS THIS. STEPHEN ROSS IS THE GUY WHO ALLEGEDLY OFFERED BRIAN FLORES A 100,000 DOLLARS FOR EACH LOSS IN 2019. AND I KNOW THAT ROSS SAYS IT WAS A JOKE. I STILL AM SEARCHING FOR THE THAT VERY FUNNY. STEPHEN ROSS IS THE GUY WHO PUNCH LINE TO THAT VERY FUNNY GIVE YOU A HUNDRED THOUSAND LOSE AT A TIME WHEN THEY WERE TRYING TO GET THEMSELVES IN POSITION TO DRAFT JOE BURROW, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU ARE EASING YOUR BODY INTO THE HOT BATH OF SUCK. IT’S GOOD TO LOSE. IT’S A GOOD BUSINESS DECISION AND THE NFL HATES HATES THAT CONVERSATION. THEY WANT TO HAVE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FIREWALL BETWEEN REGULAR SEASON STANDINGS AND WHAT THAT MEANS FOR THE DRAFT BECAUSE THE DRAFT IS THIS MYSTICAL, MAGICAL SORTING HAT RITUAL, THE THAT WE NEVER TALKED ABOUT HOW THAT TEAM GOT THE FIRST PICK ALL THAT MATTERS IS THEY GOT THE FIRST PICK. YEAH. AND THERE’S A WAY TO ENGINEER GETTING A BETTER PICK AND THAT IS IF YOU’RE WILLING TO ENDURE, THE CULTURAL RISK AND THERE ARE COACHES WHO ARE FIRM BELIEVERS THAT ONCE YOU ENTERTAIN THE IDEA OF DELIBERATELY LOSING IN YOUR BUILDING, YOU CANNOT GET THAT BUT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT A GUY WHO’S ALREADY. A PATH AND I MAY HAVE HEARD HIM. SAY 1 TIME AT A LEAGUE MEETING. YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOT TO TAKE YOUR LUMPS. MAYBE THIS IS 1 OF THOSE TIMES, YOU’RE JUST GOING TO TAKE YOUR LUMPS BECAUSE BECAUSE WITH EACH ADDITIONAL LOSS. THE DOLPHINS ARE IN A BETTER POSITION TO GET A TRUE FRANCHISE QUARTERBACK. NEXT YEAR, THAT MAY BE THE EASIEST EXPLANATION, HE’S NOT MAKING A MOVE BECAUSE 1 IN 6 BECOMES 1 IN 7 BECOMES 1 IN 8, BE EVENTUALLY THE DRAFT. YEAH, AND AND I’M JUST SO HAPPY THROUGHOUT MY CAREER. I NEVER TOOK THAT LONG HOT BATH OF SUCK. THAT SOUNDS MISERABLE. I’VE NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE. AND THAT RIGHT NOW. UM BUT IT, YOU’RE RIGHT. LIKE THERE’S AN EXCITEMENT THAT COMES BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO GET THE NUMBER 1 PICK, NO, 1 GOES BACK AND IT’S LIKE, OH MAN, THE SEASON WAS SO BAD EVERYBODY’S LIKE OH MY GOODNESS, WE GOT THE NUMBER 1 PUT LIKE YOU LOVE THAT PART OF IT AND YOU KNOW I THINK FOR SOME FRANCHISES THAT’S WHAT THEY THEY BECOME KNOWN FOR IS GETTING THE TOP. YOU KNOW 1 PICK OR TOP 3, PICK IN THE DRAFT EVERY YEAR AND THEN ONLY THING WE TALKED ABOUT THAT TEAM IS WE WANT TO SEE IF THE GUY PANS OUT. SO YEAH, THERE’S SOMETHING TO IT AND I THINK FROM MIAMI NOW YOU KNOW, THOSE FEW YEARS THAT THEY HAVE FLORES 2 WINNING SEASONS, THE MIKE MCDANIEL BEGINNING OF HIS ERA. THAT’S REALLY BEEN IT FROM MIAMI THE LAST 20, 25 YEARS OF, REALLY HAVING EXCITEMENT AROUND THIS ORGANIZATION AROUND THIS TEAM. SO I THINK THIS IS JUST DISAPPOINTING FOR THEM TO BE BACK IN THIS KIND OF ERA FOR THEM OF MAYBE FINDING A NEW COACH. MAYBE GO LIKE IT. IT IT REALLY BACK HERE. I DON’T THINK IT’S MAYBE AT THIS POINT BY WEEK 1 OF NEXT YEAR. THE QUESTION IS, WILL STEPHEN ROSS? AN IN-SEASON FIRING. HE’S FIRED FOR COACHES. HE’S FIRED 2 OF THEM DURING THE SEASON, THEY’VE GOT AND LOOK IF NO CHANGE IS GOING TO BE MADE. NOW, THAT MEANS THE NEXT 2 GAMES ARE STATUS QUO, BECAUSE THEY GO SUNDAY AT ATLANTA THURSDAY VISIT FROM THE RAVENS NOT NOT EVEN THE DOLPHINS AMONG THE MOST DYSFUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATIONS HISTORICALLY AT LEAST IN THE LAST 20 YEARS, WOULD FIRE THE COACH ON WITH A GAME ON A THURSDAY, I THINK. BUT IF ANY TEAMS WOULD DOLPHINS, JETS
Mike Florio and Devin McCourty note Mike McDaniel was the one who said anything is on the table and while he clarified Tua Tagovailoa will start Week 8, the Dolphins are reaching a level of exasperation. #NBCSports #NFL #ProFootballTalk

2 words expire team.
There’s really no franchise QBs coming out this year
Who tf looked at this guy and said YEAH, HE IS A COACH THAT MY LOCKER ROOM WILL LISTEN TO LET ALONE TAKE SERIOUSLY???
This is more of an NFL issue. Fans, media, talking heads crown a king before they prove they aren’t a jester. McDaniel was labeled this wunderkind when he took the job. QBs are named elite then lose in the playoffs year over year. We need to just stop this mess.
How quickly tank for tua has changed to tank with tua
It's Mormon Mahomes time. He deserves a shot because he managed to win a few games while being on the Jets!
Lowest point SO FAR
Miami rarely gets a top pick they mostly go season to season being somewhere around 8-8 or somewhere in the middle of the pack you usually cant say their bad but there not good either so they rarely get a top pick when they did they chose Tua Flores wanted Herbert
Tua is an example of a player who got generational wealth and lost focus, very common in the Modern Sports Era. Recently, teams simply gave vast fortunes to any QB who was next to be paid in free agency or while still under contract. Insane period of paying for just being next and not based on merit. Lucky Tua got paid. Unlucky Dolphins are stuck with an enormous mistake. A fireable offense.
I didn't like Mike McDaniels play calling.
9 picks is fine
As a Dolphins fan its just exsausting to keep going down this road
as much as the news says he is gone, Ross has already said multiple times he is not going anywhere… Please stop spreading narratives its already annoying. I hate Tua and Mikey but they aint going nowheree idiots
he looks like he's back to using i hope hes ok hes looking very haggard!
Truthfully, the number 1 pick should be given to the winner of the Super Bowl. The way it's being done currently, they are rewarding weakness.
Their roster is trash not his fault. When tua played well and they had the pieces to be successful they’re were for a few season. Tuas toast
dolphins and jets fighting for Nr 1pick – but titans say – hold my beer
Next year's draft does not have tank worthy franchise QBs, so they say
At least for the last 10ish years the team seemed like it was trying to improve— and somehow we’ve ended up in even worse shape than 2007
Isn't Zac Wilson their backup. He can't be any worse than Tua rn. And yes I'm aware of his previous time at the Jets.
The basic problem is that Mike McDaniel is not a leader of men. He can't teach Tua how to be either. McDaniel would make a great offensive coordinator somewhere.
It probably doesn’t help that dj Mike mcD looks coked up.
McDaniel looks squirmy like a fellow who would have improper relationships with his players.
Why do you think that tua is paid that much is beyond belief.
