"In other words, jobs are still on the line for McDaniel and Tua, and fan frustration is the norm. I know owner Steve Ross said he wants to be patient with McDaniel . We'll see. McDaniel doesn't seem to be out of imminent danger just yet. And Tua's long-term job security is also might be teetering on the brink of disaster."
"The turning point for McDaniel and Tua, who were 2-10 against playoff teams in 2023-24, was the listless, season-opening 33-8 loss at Indianapolis. Fans took a big bite of a reality sandwich, chewed on the future, and hated it. They finally faced the notion that, in a sense, the overhyped McDaniel-Tua duo, who produced the league's No. 1 offense in 2023, and their talent-filled rosters haven't come any closer to meeting expectations than the low-expectation Philbin-Tannehill duo and their limited-talent rosters."
Mike McDaniel and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa face mounting job insecurity following a 0-3 start and a demoralizing 33-8 season opener at Indianapolis. The duo went 2-10 against playoff teams in 2023-24 despite a top-ranked offense in 2023, and fan frustration has surged. Owner Steve Ross has expressed a desire for patience, but organizational tolerance appears limited. The next five games against the Jets, Panthers, Chargers, Browns and Falcons present a critical stretch where earning at least two wins would be pivotal. Falling short could trigger a loss of player confidence and potential leadership changes.
