Dolphins Keep Mike McDaniel for Now After 0-3 Start as Ross Signals Patience

An in-season change would be costly given roughly two years plus $18–19 million left on his deal.

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel has two years left on the contract.

Overview

  • Owner Stephen Ross is not planning an immediate coaching change, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
  • Rapoport noted the stance could shift if locker-room buy-in erodes or fans stop showing up to games.
  • Reporting details culture and accountability problems from last season, with offseason efforts to tighten standards and Jalen Ramsey dealt in June.
  • Team insiders said players have not quit on McDaniel despite the skid, pointing to a competitive showing in Buffalo.
  • False social posts claiming McDaniel was fired were debunked, while local columns urged long-term evaluations, including quarterback options and Tyreek Hill’s trade value if the season slips away.
