The Miami Dolphins have had an incredibly busy offseason, as they fired head coach Brian Flores on Black Monday and immediately began looking for their next coach, eventually landing on Mike McDaniel.
While there have been a number of statements and reports claiming that McDaniel was the coach that they wanted all along and Tua Tagovailoa was their quarterback, PFT’s Mike Florio has stated that this wasn’t exactly the case.
On Monday morning, Florio reported that the Dolphins had plans to go after Sean Payton as their head coach and Tom Brady as their quarterback before Flores’ lawsuit was dropped on their heads. According to Florio’s source, the team actually contacted the Saints to speak with Payton, but the request was denied.
