"After careful evaluation and extensive discussions since the season ended, I have made the decision that our organization is in need of comprehensive change," Dolphins owner Steve Ross said in a statement. "I informed Mike McDaniel this morning that he has been relieved of his duties as head coach. "I love Mike and want to thank him for his hard work, commitment, and the energy he brought to our organization."
"Whether the Baltimore Ravens' Tuesday decision to part ways with John Harbaugh, who will surely be the most coveted available coach of the hiring cycle, influenced the decision will be speculated by many, but an ESPN report said Miami hasn't contacted Harbaugh and moving on from McDaniel was independent of the pending GM search. The Dolphins are first expected to complete their search for a new GM, which is down to four finalists as of Wednesday afternoon, before diving into bringing in a new coach."
