Bengals, Miami Dolphins brawl, and Brian Flores stands up for players

Dolphins fans show support for head coach McDaniel!

Last Sunday evening, I posted that I had seen the question of whether Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel was on the “hot seat” heading into the 2024 NFL season being asked on various NFL shows and YouTube channels/Podcasts. The opinion was mixed, with some saying he was and some saying no way.

The reasons they gave for his being on the hot seat and possibly losing his gig in South Florida basically fell into two categories: not making the playoffs and not winning a playoff game, in which case I guess the former would also apply.

I also posted a poll asking: “Do you think that there’s a chance that Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is on the hot seat in 2024?”

  • No, I think Ross will give him at least one more season no matter the outcome- led the way with 354 votes, or 77% of all votes.
  • Maybe, if he does not win a playoff game or misses the playoffs- came in second with 82 votes, or 18% of all votes.
  • Absolutely, if he doesn’t win a playoff game he’s gone- came in third with 26 votes, or 6% of all votes.

I then asked the question: Do you think Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is on the hot seat this season if he does not take the team further in the playoffs or, worse, regresses in some way? What would it take to keep Ross from considering moving on from McDaniel after three seasons?

Below are some of your thoughts and answers-

MIAMI235 thinks no one knows but still hopes McDaniel is on the hot seat…I think!?!

Who can really know the answer to this question?

Through the years so many decisions have been made , that have you scratching your head. As with all teams.

I hope so, is my answer.

MiMiami says for sure!

Oh yeah. His seat is warm, for sure.

 

Miami blew a three game lead to win the division last year, only to fall to Buffalo at home on national television. Miami lost to KC on the road in the playoffs; I don’t feel bad losing to the SB champs. Losing to BUF is inexcusable.
