Once heralded as the NFL's next offensive mastermind, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel is already seeing people call for his job two weeks into the 2025 season.
The quirky yet innovative coach quickly endeared himself to fans and the NFL when he came to Miami. McDaniel built up quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's confidence, helping the Alabama product develop into a capable passer that led the NFL in passing yards in 2023. He also brought both fresh ideas and personality to a team that had felt defeated under former coach Brian Flores's tough leadership.
