There are two lines of thinking when it comes to the Miami Dolphins. Do they blow the team up and start over, or do they try to piece together a team that can win consistently? That thought process may already be rolling through the corridors.
Stephen Ross likes McDaniel, so a complete rebuild is unlikely. Hiring a new GM to replace Champ Kelly could begin the next era with friction, unless Ross allows that next GM to have control over the head coach position.
That isn't likely to happen, so expect Kelly to remain for at least a year while McDaniel takes another run.
