Mike McDaniel is on the hot seat as he enters his pivotal fourth season with the Miami Dolphins, where his job security is at stake. After leading the team to two playoff appearances and achieving a 28-23 record over the last three seasons, pressure mounts as fans and management demand greater success. The Dolphins' offense was explosive in 2023, ranking first in total and passing offense, driven by standout quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and star receiver Tyreek Hill.

However, McDaniel's inconsistency in playoff performance and Tagovailoa's injury issues have left the team needing improvement. With the Dolphins facing tougher competition in their division, a disappointing season could lead to a complete overhaul. McDaniel is currently ranked as having the second-hottest seat among NFL coaches, reflecting the urgency for better results in the coming season.
