Mike McDaniel: “My understanding is I’m the head coach of the Miami Dolphins until told otherwise.”

The coach carousel may yet grow a little more, although I doubt it will be from firings.

The grossly overpaid QB situation seems to be the real story the past few years, but this year appears to be the breaking point, with a bit more to come during the next season. The liberal trash sportscasters will find a way to blame it all on tariffs I’m sure.

Tua came out of his college years with an injury history that was a big red flag at the time. His better seasons appeared to have been flukes, or related to better performance by some teammates and/or easier schedules.

Miami: “Tua’s cap number for the upcoming season is a whopping $56.4 million. If the Dolphins somehow found a way to trade him before June 1, then they’d be able to save $11 million after all was said and done. Again, this is if they are somehow able to work out a trade.”

I’m thinking Cleveland may be interested, Deshaun Watson’s going to be a free agent soon... 😁😆😅🤣😂

I doubt there will be more head coach firings, there have been eight, iow, a quarter of the league. One can’t help but wonder, which teams have the youngest, cheapest roster with enough talent for an experienced and/or talented coach to develop?
