The Miami Dolphins have gone from looking like they would be keeping many things the same in 2026, to completely gutting the current regime in the matter of just a few days. A 7-10 season was enough for owner Stephen Ross to make wholesale changes, and the firing of Head Coach Mike McDaniel on Thursday morning was the first domino to fall.
Miami was already firmly into its search for its next General Manager before handing McDaniel his walking papers, but now the pressure is on to secure a candidate so they can pivot to hiring their next HC.
