No one is really worried about whether or not the Miami Dolphins will win or lose over their final games of the 2025 season; the question has always been Mike McDaniel's future with the team.
No other coach in the NFL started the 2025 season in a hotter seat than Miami's head coach. Every fan and every member of the media saw his future ending sometime before or during the team's bye week. The only voice that mattered was the one that wasn't expressing it. Stephen Ross.
Now, it appears that regardless of how the season ends, McDaniel will be returning to the Dolphins in 2026.
