"Of all the NFL teams currently residing in the dumpster, the Miami Dolphins might be the most pungent. The quarterback, the offense, the defense-it all reeks. When things go badly, the head coach's job is to sniff out what stinks and address it. Mike McDaniel is just kind of spraying it down with Febreze and hoping it goes away. On Sunday, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa went 12-for-23 with 100 passing yards and three interceptions,"
"McDaniel's stock is falling. The team reached the playoffs in his first two seasons, and the 2024 Dolphins turned a 2-6 start into an 8-9 finish, so he's shown competence. That said, his overall record after this weekend's loss is 29-29. The most damning stat might be that McDaniel is just 3-14 against winning teams. Now the Dolphins are struggling to beat the sadsacks, and McDaniel's characteristically dry demeanor makes him seem like a guy who knows he could be fired any day now."
The Miami Dolphins suffered a 31-6 loss to the Cleveland Browns, dropping to 1-6 with a lone win over the winless Jets. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 12 of 23 passes for 100 yards with three interceptions and a 24.1 passer rating. Head coach Mike McDaniel's overall record sits at 29-29 and he is 3-14 versus winning teams. The team showed early success under McDaniel but now struggles against both strong opponents and weaker teams. McDaniel's reserved, dry demeanor and canned responses increasingly clash with persistent offensive and defensive failures, heightening fan frustration.
