The Miami Dolphins They registered their worst season start since 2019, after losing their most recent challenge to the Buffalo bills and leave your record in 0-3 in the current tournament. For many, one more than enough reason for the team’s directive to contemplate the idea of separating the coach from his position Mike McDaniel.
However, McDaniel, who is in his fourth season in command of the club, seems to have yet job security. According to a recent report from NFL Networkthe owner of the Dolphins, Stephen Rosshe would be betting, instead, for patience with the instructor.
According to the same report, McDaniel is still liked by Ross, who showed his confidence in him when he offered a contract extension more than a year ago. The main coach still has two more years in that agreement, with 18 million dollars still pending paying after this contest.
In any case, McDaniel’s status with Dolphins could change from one moment to another, although beyond the results, the main reason for it may be in the players’ reaction.
The information of the NFL television chain emphasizes that, if the players decide to turn their backs on McDaniel and the atmosphere in the clubhouse becomes gray, the high command of the institution could run out of other option more than finding a replacement for the technician.
During his first three seasons on the helm, McDaniel had a certain level of success. Miami returned to the postseason in 2022 and 2023 after an absence of six years and registered two running appearances in the playoffs for the first time since the days of Dave Wannstedt.
Short joy
However, eliminations in wild card games and a disappointing season in 2024 have changed the panorama with respect to the direction of the team under the orders of McDaniel.
After a beating at the hands of the colts on the opening day of the harvest, the Dolphins gave signs of life in their next two clashes against the Patriots and the Bills.
Now, the next Alcabala for McDaniel and company will arrive on Monday in a confrontation against the Jets at the Miami Hard Rock Stadium.
Everything seems to indicate that the coach will be in his usual position for that comparison and also for those of later weeks. But far from trusting, McDaniel must turn on the alarms and try to avoid a rebellion of the players in the locker room that can change Ross’s plans in the offices.
