Dave Hyde: Do Miami Dolphins really want Mike McDaniel back?
"McDaniel's record is 34-32. He has no playoff wins. He solved quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, which was good, but then overvalued him in a manner that financially cripples the team next season and leaves them without a quarterback. Surely, McDaniel learned that the culture of comfort he espoused doesn't work after being run over by the likes of Jalen Ramsey and Tyreek Hill being perpetually late to practices last season. But has he learned enough?"
"The Dolphins now been outscored by a league-worst margin of 113-27 in the third quarter this season. Is it coaching adjustments? Players? Exactly what? "I could go through all the things that we've tried to do, and they've been unsuccessful," McDaniel said of the third-quarter problems. "It's not like it hasn't been on our radar. ... It's not good enough. You have to be able to come out from half time and adjust. And we aren't executing that at all."
Mike McDaniel owns a 34-32 record with no playoff wins. He fixed Tua Tagovailoa but then awarded a contract that jeopardizes the team's financial flexibility and leaves quarterback uncertainty. The team has suffered extreme third-quarter collapses, being outscored 113-27 this season and posting a 4-23 mark when trailing at halftime over four years. Questions exist about adjustments, coaching, player execution, toughness, and culture. McDaniel acknowledged the third-quarter issues and said remedies are on the table. Team owner Steve Ross must decide whether to retain McDaniel or seek change, with past loyalty as context.
