Dolphins linked to surprising familiar name as speculation rises about McDaniel
Denver Broncos DC Vance Joseph | Dustin Bradford/GettyImagesThe speculation surrounding Mike McDaniel's future continues to be debated. Many believe that he will be retained through the 2026 season, but others see his career at a four-game crossroads.
If McDaniel's Dolphins can win out and reach 10 games, he will more than likely be safe, but if he can't, there is a chance Stephen Ross fires him. If that happens, the speculation surrounding the Dolphins' head coaching vacancy will be much louder.
With a month left in the 2025 season, Vance Joseph is already hearing his name as a potential replacement for McDaniel. It wouldn't be the first time he was with the Dolphins.
