Miami Dolphins: Mike McDaniel is eighth NFL head coach fired
BBC••sports
Key Points:
- The Miami Dolphins have fired head coach Mike McDaniel after four seasons, following a disappointing 7-10 record in 2025, their worst since 2019.
- McDaniel, who signed a three-year contract extension in August 2024, was dismissed after the team lost six of their first seven games in the 2025 season.
- Owner Stephen Ross also fired general manager Chris Grier mid-season and cited the need for "comprehensive change" after the season ended.
- Ross praised McDaniel's creativity and commitment but decided to move on, emphasizing that the decision was unrelated to Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh's availability.
- The Dolphins have not yet contacted Harbaugh, despite Ross's ties
