The Miami Dolphins are moving on from Mike McDaniel. The team fired McDaniel on Thursday, days after the team finished the 2025 NFL season with a 7-10 record, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Other than Harbs coming available, wonder what took them so long.

Sounds to me like it's going to come down to Miami and the NYG for Harbaugh

Dude they fired him today because Harbough told them he has mutual interest In the job. It's nearly a done deal.

Ravens need to hire McDaniel to work with Lamar.

I think this is the likely landing spot. Otherwise, McDaniel becomes the top OC candidate for any job what becomes available and has his pick of the litter.

Some context into the Dolphins' decision to fire Mike McDaniel, per multiple people involved in the decision: Owner Steve Ross met with McDaniel on Tuesday, and the outcome of the meeting left Ross very conflicted. He really likes Mike -- "loves his intelligence and offensive mind" -- but Tuesday's meeting resulted in some hard thoughts. Ross didn't feel like the results were there, and despite the end-of-year production, Ross simply wasn't comfortable moving forward with the "status quo."

Now for the elephant in the room: I'm told the Dolphins have not yet been in touch with John Harbaugh or anyone in his camp, and people close to the decision are adamant this decision to move away from McDaniel is independent of Harbaugh's availability.

I'm told the Dolphins will conduct the head coaching search after a GM is in place, which should be in the next few days. Yes, it obviously could lead to discussions with Harbaugh. And yes, one of the GM candidates (Chad Alexander) is very close to Harbaugh. But people close to the situation tell me this decision to fire Mike would have been made either way.

If he doesn't get HC looks some team will get a heck of an OC. The way things work, he'll probably end up in Kansas City and they'll go undefeated next year

Crazy thing is you can tell something is really there but Tua just couldn’t execute it.

Hard to win with a shite QB that the franchise is tethered to.

Gotta assume the dolphins think they get Harbaugh. Good move for them if that happens

Please let Joe Brady get a HC job and bills hire McDaniel as OC
