Stephen Ross on Mike McDaniel firing: Our organization is in need of comprehensive change
Our Summary
The Miami Dolphins have fired head coach Mike McDaniel, becoming the eighth NFL team to make a coaching change since the start of the 2025 season. The decision was announced by Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, who cited the need for comprehensive change within the organization. McDaniel's dismissal follows the end of the regular season and his recent press conferences outlining plans for the 2026 season. Ross expressed gratitude for McDaniel's contributions, highlighting his creativity and passion for the game.
The timing of McDaniel's firing has sparked speculation that the Dolphins may pursue John Harbaugh as their next head coach.
