The Miami Dolphins' dismal start to the season has sparked concerns about the future of head coach Mike McDaniel. Following a 28-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, fans have been speculating about the stability of his position. Despite his background in the San Francisco 49ers' system under Kyle Shanahan, McDaniel's offense has struggled, plummeting from first in 2023 to 27th midway through 2025. The Dolphins' recent slump, with three consecutive losses, has raised eyebrows. However, the team is reportedly inclined to wait until the end of the season before making any drastic decisions. This approach is consistent with their previous policy, as they have not fired a coach in-season since 2015. ESPN insider Adam Schefter has suggested that McDaniel's job is safe for the remainder of the season, at least. Meanwhile, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport believes that McDaniel's status is 'up in the air' due to the team's poor performance and locker room concerns. If McDaniel were to be fired, he would not be the first head coach to face the axe this season, following the Tennessee Titans' decision to part ways with Brian Callahan after a 1-5 start.
