The Miami Dolphins are facing a crucial 2025 season as head coach Mike McDaniel is reportedly on the hot seat after a disappointing setback last year. With a record of 28-23 over three seasons, including a single playoff appearance in 2023, McDaniel's future with the team hinges on a successful bounce-back campaign. The Dolphins need to address significant roster issues to improve upon last year's performance and secure McDaniel’s position.

His coaching tenure has seen mixed results, highlighted by an underwhelming 2024 that saw the team finish with a losing record. Analysts suggest that unless he can lead Miami back to playoff contention, McDaniel could face dismissal by the end of the season. The pressure is mounting as the franchise aims for resurgence and stability amidst ongoing roster challenges.
