Jeff Hafley hopes to avoid making the same coaching mistakes as Mike McDaniel
Tampa Bay Buccaneers v Miami Dolphins - NFL 2025 | Carmen Mandato/GettyImagesIn the final games of the 2025 Miami Dolphins season, Mike McDaniel wore a hoodie with "Inspire Change" on the front. He did exactly that. The Dolphins changed their head coach from McDaniel to Jeff Hafley.
Hafley is currently building his coaching staff, but the similarities between McDaniel's first weeks on the job are suddenly becoming eerily similar. Fans are not blind to what could ultimately be a second round of mistakes.
Hafley has hired Ryan Downard and appears to be leaning toward Sean Duggan to take over as defensive coordinator. History is repeating itself in South Florida, and not in a good way.
