"No. Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel had the biggest game of his career in the playoff game at Kansas City after the 2023 season, a 26-7 Dolphins loss in frigid conditions. It appears McDaniel will be back next season from the leaks we've heard in the national media from Dolphins owner Stephen Ross. And that raises the likelihood of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa also coming back."
"Respectfully, I disagree. I'm guessing you're referring to the Dolphins being a projected $10 million over the 2026 salary cap. To me, the biggest upgrade could come from strategy and philosophy, meaning McDaniel sticks with the run-first offense. But beyond that, in the 2026 draft, the Dolphins have six good picks - one pick in the first round, one in the second, three in the third, and one in the fourth - as well as one pick in the fifth round,"
Mike McDaniel's single biggest game was the playoff loss at Kansas City after the 2023 season, but signals indicate he will likely return next season. Owner Stephen Ross leaks suggest major pressure on McDaniel has diminished, increasing the probability that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa returns. Ex-general manager Chris Grier is gone and may be viewed as a scapegoat for recent disappointments. Financially, the team projects about $10 million over the 2026 cap, yet strategic changes and the 2026 draft could provide upgrades. The Dolphins hold multiple mid-round picks and potential low-cost free agents who have contributed this year.
