ESPN Sources: Dolphins fired head coach Mike McDaniel….
50 comments
John Harbaugh is the most wanted man right now
i’ll take him as hc or harbaughs oc
I just want to get this out there. Why the hell would Harbaugh want to coach the Dolphins?
Edit: apart from him being a Republican man nearing retirement age
My thing is why the fuck would Harbaugh want to go there ?? They have no QB and a shit roster.
Please please please be because Stephen Ross is a fucking moron and not because Harbaugh indicated to them that he actually wants to coach the Dolphins…
Have to think Harbaugh is in play for Miami and they know it. Reportedly has a good relationship with Stephen Ross and can pick the GM.
1. He’s instantly at the top of my list.
2. I also do not want him as the Eagles OC.
I realize that we’ve already fucked up once by hiring a guy in order to stop him from becoming an Eagles coach, and that didn’t go well. But that doesn’t change either of points 1 or 2.
If Harbaugh goes to Miami it’s got to be because he will influence the GM spot. This may get more wild if any postseason teams lose and fire their HC’s
This has me nervous and I don’t like it.
No QB, and you’re going up against Josh Allen and Drake Maye 2x a year. Only thing nice in Miami is the weather.
That’s team #7
Harbaugh is extremely coveted and I do not trust our FO to be competent enough to get him. I pray that I’m wrong.
I would happily take McDaniel if we can’t get Harbaugh
One of the GM candidates the Dolphins interviewed is Chargers assistant GM Chad Alexander, who spent a long time in Baltimore.
Dammit! He’s going to Miami, isn’t he…
No.
McDaniel is a nice consolation prize if we fail to get Harbaugh
I kinda just want Stefanski out of everyone
Harbaugh to Miami and they will let him pick the GM + coordinators he wants.
Maybe we get McDaniels now?
Delete this
I take him as our OC
I want McDaniel if we can’t get Harbaugh.
Maybe this has something to do with Harbaugh…. But the Dolphins don’t seem like an attractive HC spot to me.
Saw this coming. I think teams know MLF and Tomlin very well could be available too after the weekend
They have no QB and a pretty bad cap situation (4th worst) so idk what would make this attractive outside of the fact that it’s Florida, Miami needs to do a rebuild
I don’t like him too much as a head coach but there’s no doubt in my mind that this is the guy if you want to maximize Jaxson dart
Until we actually sign Harbaugh there is no way to feel safe that will get him. It’s a total crap shoot at this point.
Interviews with giants must be awkward with schoen sitting in. “I’m very interested in coaching with the giants as long as you, Joe schoen, are not here…”
Bottomline is people shouldn’t get too attached to Harbaugh. Yes the Giants should have as good a chance as any of the current teams especially from a roster comparison, but who knows what he’s truly looking for. Does he want to go through a QB search or pick a team that already has one to mold. I guess we’ll find out in a week or so, but people gotta be realistic that we might still be going the Stefanski, Kubiak, Shula route.
I think the issue is one of these owners like Blank and Ross can outbid Mara/Tisch
Look, guys, Harbaugh is totally washed. Ravens fans have wanted him gone forever, the game has passed him by, we need to stop thinking we’d get anything but a Pete Carroll-Raiders experience. We have so many obviously better options, especially Stefanski, who’s used to turning around ships in bad situations, we don’t have to pretend that Harbaugh, who can’t even win anything with an MVP, is still the guy he was ten years ago.
That’s as much cope as I can give you at the moment, but I’ll have more, I promise.

Wildest offseason in the history of the sport and the playoffs haven’t even started.
Get your popcorn ready boys, we’re going for a ride.
I’ve already convinced myself we aren’t getting Harbaugh so I would be okay with McDaniel. I think he would mesh well with Dart and Skattebo
Harbaugh definitely is going there or Buffalo with Josh Allen when McDermott gets fired Sunday
Harbaugh as HC of Giants with McDaniels as OC??
My dream OC
Huge Michigan connection with Stephen Ross unfortunately.
The timing of this does not bode well for us.
I’d take either
We are gonna lose out on Harbaugh arent we…..fuck
The Dolphins must be that 7th team who wants Harbaugh
If we don’t get Harbaugh is this guy the next best option? He could work wonders with dart and Nabers
Yeah we’re cooked. It was a nice dream to have for 24 hours though
John Harbough just the hottest girl in school right now, single and ready to date. Everyone wants a piece.
Just given me Harbaughs. The program needs stability. A guy who knows how to win and has proven it.
I’d almost prefer Stefanski-McDaniel-Schwartz over Harbaugh-Monken-whoever
Damn that’s another opening to fight over Harbaugh with. I think McDaniels becomes the top OC on the market and possibly considered for some HC gigs.
Well that took way to long.He always looked like a coke’d out drug addict
FUKK A YOOU DOLLFEEEEENN!!

Welp there goes our shot at Harbaugh
I don’t like him too much as a head coach but there’s no doubt in my mind that this is the guy if you want to maximize Jaxson dart
