Miami Dolphins firing Mike McDaniel seems imminent after loss | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC
EVERY PERSON, UM, YOU KNOW, ON OUR TEAM, IF YOU’RE SAYING IT’S NOT ME, IT’S YOU, YOU KNOW? THAT’S THE THAT’S WHAT I TOLD THE TEAM. UM, THAT’S WHAT UM I HAVE TO SUBSCRIBE TO. WE WE SAY WE WANT TO WIN GAMES, SO WE HAVE TO DO THE THINGS NECESSARY TO WIN GAMES. UM, UNTIL THAT HAPPENS, WE WILL LOSE GAMES. MONDAY AFTERNOON, I WILL BE WATCHING THE PHONE. I WILL BE WATCHING ANY AND ALL RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO ME FOR THE NEWS THAT MIKE MCDANIEL HAS BEEN FIRED TODAY. I’M NOT PREDICTING IT. I’M NOT REPORTING IT. I JUST THINK THAT ANYONE THAT HAS ANY COMMON SENSE AND EXPERIENCE, COVERING THE NFL FOLLOWING THE NFL, IT’S 1 AND 6. IT’S THE LOW POINT FOR THE DOLPHINS. THEY WERE BLOWN OUT, 31 TO 6 BY THE 1 AND 5, PREVIOUSLY CLEVELAND BROWNS. AND I SAID LAST NIGHT ON FOOTBALL NIGHT IN AMERICA, STEPHEN ROSS, THE OWNER OF GIVE MIKE MCDANIEL AND GM, CHRIS GREER, THE ENTIRE YEAR GAMES, LIKE, YESTERDAY WILL CHANGE THAT. AND ROSS HAS FIRED 4 COACHES 2 OF THEM DURING THE SEASON. TONY, SPARANO, AND JOE PHILMAN. PHILMAN WAS FIRED ONLY 4 GAMES INTO THE SEASON 10 YEARS AGO. I FEEL LIKE IT’S COMING AFTER YESTERDAY. HOW CAN IT NOT BE? AND THE ONLY REASON IT WOULDN’T IS BECAUSE IT’S IMPORTANT. POSSIBLE FOR THE RATIONAL MIND TO PREDICT THE BEHAVIOR OF THE IRRATIONAL BUT BARRY JACKSON IN THE MIAMI HERALD RIPPING, STEPHEN ROSS FOR SPENDING TOO MUCH TIME ON HIS REAL ESTATE EMPIRE. NOT ENOUGH TIME ON HIS FOOTBALL TEAM. IT’S JUST FALLING APART AND IT’S OBVIOUS AND I DON’T KNOW WHERE IT GOES FROM HERE. THEY’VE GOT THE FALCONS NEXT WEEKEND AND THEN THEY HAVE A SHORT WEEK GAME AGAINST THE RAVENS. AND THEN THAT LITTLE MINI BUY LIKE, I DON’T KNOW. DO YOU GIVE MCDANIEL ANOTHER GAME OR 2? I DON’T KNOW. IT FEELS LIKE IT’S OVER AT THIS POINT, THAT WAS UGLY YESTERDAY. I MEAN, DEFINITELY UGLY AND AND OF COURSE, I THINK THE, THE WORST PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR BY THE, THE DOLPHINS OFFENSE AND THAT, THAT’S WHERE YOU LOOK AT MIKE MCDANIEL AND THAT’S WHAT HE’S PART OF THE REASON I’VE ARGUED, IT SHOULDN’T BE HIM, YOU KNOW, WITH HIS HEAD ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK. IT SHOULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE. CHRIS GREER, I THINK IT’S EVERYBODY BUT IT’S EVERYBODY. YEAH, I I HEAR YOU. THAT’S WHERE WE’RE AT. NOTHING LOOKS GOOD. THE DEFENSE IS A DISASTER. THE TEWA IS REGRESSING AND GOTTEN THE WRONG WAY. UH, THERE’S NO TYREEK HILL. THERE’S DEVON. HEN CONTINUES TO BE A POSITIVE SPOT ON THE OFFENSIVE SIDE OF THE BALL BUT LIKE WE DON’T SEE JAYLEN WADDLE MUCH, RIGHT? HE’S SUPPOSED TO BE A BIG-TIME PLAYER FOR THAT 1 CATCHERS. TALKED ABOUT THIS. WE BROKE DOWN THE TEWA, WEDNESDAY PRESS CONFERENCE AND SOMEBODY VERY DEFFLEY ASKED HIM WHO ARE THE LEADERS ON THE OFFENSIVE SIDE OF THE BALL BECAUSE HE WASN’T SAYING ANY LIKE WE’RE MOVING ON, BUT HE STARTS RATTLING OFF NAMES OF LEADERS AND HE DIDN’T SAY HE DIDN’T. HE DIDN’T SAY WADDLE. YEAH, RIGHT. I CAUGHT THAT TOO, I KNOW. SO ANYBODY WHO WASN’T MENTIONED HE MENTIONED LIKE AARON BREWER. AUSTIN JACKSON. AND THEN NOBODY. AND SO ANYBODY THAT WASN’T MENTIONED IS POTENTIALLY AMONG THE PEOPLE WHO WEREN’T SHOWING UP FOR THE PLAYER ONLY MEETINGS. BUT YEAH. AND WE POSTED SOMETHING EARLIER TODAY TOO. MIKE MCDANIEL TALKING ABOUT TO HIS PERFORMANCE YESTERDAY, 3 INTERCEPTIONS. HE SAID EVERYTHING’S ON THE TABLE AND I DIDN’T PUT THE WORDS IN HIS MOUTH. YOU SAY, EVERYTHING’S ON THE TABLE. WHAT’S ON THE TABLE? EVERYTHING. WHAT’S NOT ON THE TABLE, NOTHING, I CAN’T IMAGINE HIM BEING BENCHED, BUT I FEEL LIKE THEY NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS BECAUSE IT JUST REALLY DID. SEEM LIKE THE LOWEST POINT WE’VE SEEN THIS ORGANIZATION AT UNDER MIKE MCDANIEL AND I FEEL LIKE MCDANIEL AND GREER. IT. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THE NEXT LOGICAL STEP. AND, AND BY THE WAY, MCDANIEL SAID HE REFUSES TO SPEND ANY TIME THINKING ABOUT HIS JOB, HE’S FOCUSED ON DOING HIS JOB. HE’S NOT THINKING ABOUT HIS JOB, PHYSICALLY WHOOPED, THEY HAD A FUMBLE ON A KICK RETURN SHORT FIELD, THEY THREW A PICK 6, HE THREW 3 INTERCEPTIONS ON THE DAY. NOT A GOOD LOOK FOR THE MONEY AND THE BROWNS, HEY, THE BROWNS IN THERE BROWN UNIFORMS, THEY’RE 2 AND 0. YEAH, THEY’RE THEY LISTEN, THEY’RE TOUGH. I WOULDN’T WANT TO SEE CLEVELAND AND DEFINITELY NOT.

This guy is not right,something is wrong with him
This may be the most egregious lack of firing since the Lions 0-16 season. Lions fan. I should know.
I personally want to see Chris Grier fired before I see McDaniel fired
Brissett out playing 45/50 million dollar qbs is crazy work.
No sympathy here -signed Tennessee Titans
He hasn't been fired yet???
Raiders should fire Chip Kelly and hire McDaniels to be the OC
So that's what an Ivy league education sounds like.
I'm not an Dolphins fan at but it's time for a change fired coach Mike McDaniel, trade Tua, Malik Washington, Tyreek Hill, Quinn Ewers, Jaylen Waddle, to the Cardinals for Kyle Murray, Jacoby Brissett, Marvin Harrison Jr, Michael Wilson & 2026 late 1st round pick Trade Minkah Fitzpatrick, Rasual Douglas, Bradley Chubb,to the Cowboys for Kenny Clark, Daron Bland,Donovan Wilson
Who will the Dolphins bring in that’s worse than McDanial?
feels like the players are playing with minimal effort to clean house. the same thing happened when the chargers were stomped out by the raiders then brandon staley got fired. dolphins locker room want a new QB who does not blame shift and a HC who will command respect.
Cleveland didn't even play well either
Theres an opening at UCLA for him.
Imminent? LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
No need to launch him yet. Let him compete for the #1 pick next year. Fire the architect of this terrible roster, Chris Grier. Let the new GM get the lay of the land so he hits the ground running at the end of Week 18. He can deal players during the rest of the year and launch McDaniel in week 15-18 somewhere.
McDaniel will land butter side up. He’ll be the OC in Philly.
Just put him out of his misery already.
He brought them back to life. Give him time to rebuild. Otherwise he’d be a perfect OC in Pittsburgh!
He doesn't have the makings of a nfl coach
My dad has been predicting this about Michael and Tua for the last three years!! Get Tua out
AJ being leader yet been poor tackle and miss more time than tua is funny
They need to get rid of Tua, all he is good at is being on the floor throwing up gang signs
I don’t understand having a short quarterback and short receivers
Unless you have been winning the HC is responsible for everything, certain coaches don't have it and coordinator changes will not fix a really bad team.
I think Mike is 4D chessing everyone – he decided before the season he didn't want to be there, and this is probably the best way out financially even if it makes him look terrible, probably because the actual good organizations run by smart people know better. I'm thinking Saleh and Shanahan for example. Guys who are going to be HCs for a long time want their OCs and DCs to be former HCs because it makes their coaching operations more sophisticated, so when a young HC washes out that made their bones under someone like a Shanahan, I bet it's way more valuable to become a long-term / permanent OC getting paid near what an HC would, and not having to deal with the media or scrutiny. Maybe Shanahan has the OC spot waiting for Mike next year cause Kubiak likely to get poached, etc.
Mike is not the issue with this team. He has horrible leadership on this team & horrible I mean disgusting general management above him. ZERO talent acquisition to speak of every move they've made has been questionable at best. Just such a poorly assembled roster. The fact he got tua to a 9-8 11-6 & 8-9 record is nuts. Tua is such a massive blaring problem and you can't hide it. O line is a joke , defense is anemic at best , receiving core is the only position of dept. Running game is all they've got and that's mikes bread & butter. The roster construction is so pathetic it's disgusting. If it's not a 20 yard comeback , a screen or his 1st to 2nd read tua can't make it. Not to mention the injury problems
Self medicating ??? 🤔
I would’ve dumped Tua after all the concussions.
Team better with a Tua concussion.
Why not franchise tag tua instead of giving him an expensive deal? That was stupid
Get rid of them now
Bot)h New York coaches and McDaniel are on notice (and they should be
Probably 2 nice guys but neither knows what they are doing.
This front office drafted the wrong qb and tried everything they can to justify it, but now it can’t be hidden anymore it’s too obvious…. Ross wtf you doing sell the team you clown
