Dolphins’ Mike McDaniel sounds off on job security rumors after 7-win season

The Miami Dolphins missed the NFL playoffs for the second season in a row under head coach Mike McDaniel, further sparking rumors that he’s about to get fired from his job. But a day after the conclusion of the 2025 NFL regular season, McDaniel remained as the team’s head coach, with indications that he’ll still be running the show from the sidelines in the 2026 campaign.

“My understanding is that I’m the coach of the Dolphins until I’m told otherwise… We are not happy with the results that are not up to the standard,” McDaniel said when asked on the NFL Network about reports that he’s expected to continue as Miami’s head coach (h/t Travis Wingfield of Miami’s Drive Tome with Travis Wingfield podcast).

“My sole focus each hour that you can reach me in the next foreseeable many hours is correcting and improving something that’s not good enough right now.”
