No surprise here as Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is very much on the hot seat. So hot, in fact, that his odds of being the first NFL head coach fired (1/4) in 2025 were a full ten points more than Brian Daboll with the second shortest odds (6/1).
“It was embarrassing flat out, and in that there’s nowhere to hide,” McDaniel said following his team's 38-9 drubbing at the hands of the Indianapolis Colts. “Within the game, it’s almost good that it wasn’t reachable, that we were minus-four [in turnover margin], because as a team we have to — I was really looking forward to seeing the stuff that we’ve really worked on diligently, and I didn’t see any of it, and that’s a problem.”
McDaniel added that it was tough to “get punched in the mouth like that” because it wasn’t about a lack of intent.
“I would say the good news and the positive is I don’t see how it could be worse,” McDaniel said. “And I also believe in the coaches and players to get it fixed because it’s just a shame. You work behind the scenes for months on end, and you don’t show any of it — it’s frustrating. But that can be a good thing and that’s what I saw from the positive. Also you could tell as frustrating as it was, the team didn’t splinter and the effort still remained.
“There’s things there, but overall — I’m not trying to paint a glossy … I’ll call it what it is. It was embarrassing and not anything that paying fans sign up for.”
