1. Mike McDaniel, Dolphins
Far and away the most likely name on this list, the Miami Dolphins might need a new voice leading this organization. While McDaniel is a great offensive mind who should quickly find a job as an offensive coordinator, his message appears to have grown stale in the clubhouse. Following their loss on Thursday Night Football, the team is now 0-3 with one of the league’s worst defenses and offensive lines. While McDaniels’ scheme can still generate the occasional big play, it’s not enough to make Tua Tagovailoa productive enough to win football games.
McDaniel first joined the Dolphins in 2022, and although he led the team to the playoffs on two occasions, he has yet to deliver a playoff win. The NFL is a results-based business, and he will probably be the first of the head coaches to lose his job. However, he won’t be the last, and less patient owners could part ways with their coaches before Miami cans McDaniel.
