What they are saying about Mike McDaniel and the Dolphins in the wake of Miami’s crushing 31-6 loss at the Cleveland Browns on Oct. 19:
“I was told that McDaniel would be given the full season to see where things went. Now, they’re 1-6 and that timetable can change and it can change quickly.” – Mike Florio, NBC NFL Insider
“This latest loss could very well end up being the final one for McDaniel, as many around the league think it is only a matter of time before the franchise fires the 42-year-old coach. Making things worse for the Dolphins was the fact that Browns were 1-5 coming into Sunday’s game, and they had no problem dominating the Dolphins.” – Andy Nesbitt, Sports Illustrated
“This is where Mike McDaniel sits about now as the narrative persists – and the NFL’s pressure-cooker business cycle suggests – that it is a matter of when and not if Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross will fire his coach. – Jarrett Bell, USA Today
“The Dolphins are a bad football team. McDaniel looks more and more like a coach with no answers. Miami is 1-6 with the only win coming against the lowly New York Jets. That’s why the Dolphins will have to consider a midseason change at coach. It’s not like there are any signs of life.” – Frank Schwab, Yahoo Sports
“At least the Dolphins (1-6) and Jets (0-7) are still disasters. Morbid consistency counts for something. Miami coach Mike McDaniel is probably next on the chopping block, and I really wonder if Aaron Glenn survives into Year 2 after this winless start.” The Athletic Pulse
“Seven games into the Dolphins’ season, McDaniel’s seat couldn’t be hotter, especially after losing 31-6 to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. While previous reports suggested the Dolphins wouldn’t make an in-season coaching change in relation to McDaniel, that may no longer be the case after Sunday’s embarrassment.” – Andrew Buller-Russ, Sportsnaut NFL Insider
“For the first time in this miserable season, after Sunday’s debacle, I would not be surprised if the Miami Dolphins fired coach Mike McDaniel very soon, and I would not argue that it was too soon. It might be time.” – Greg Cote, Miami Herald columnist
“Changes could be coming soon for the Dolphins.” – Bleacher Report
