Overview

  • Miami opened 0-3 with losses to the Colts, Patriots and Bills, marking its worst start since 2019.
  • NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports owner Stephen Ross does not plan an immediate coaching change and expects McDaniel to remain on the sideline.
  • McDaniel has two years left on his contract with roughly $18–19 million still owed after this season, which factors into near-term decisions.
  • Rapoport said Ross could reconsider if on-field effort suggests players no longer believe in the coach.
  • False social posts claiming McDaniel was fired were debunked, while analysis urges roster evaluation, youth development and restraint on trading picks given long playoff odds for 0-3 teams.
