This is the third season that McDaniel has been the head coach of the Miami Dolphins. He missed the playoffs in his first season and he made it during his second season. This year, Mike McDaniel is on track to miss the playoffs.

After the game, the fanbase on Twitter thinks that the season is over and that they should fire McDaniel. Here is what they said on social media:

It will not get any easier for the Dolphins moving forward. Miami had expectations this season and a lot has gone wrong, including the coaching.

Tua Tagovailoa Returns

The Dolphins’ biggest story of the day is the return of Tua Tagovailoa from a concussion. He hasn’t played since Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills. Against the Arizona Cardinals, he completed 28-of-38 passes for 234 yards and one touchdown. That was not a bad showing for him.

Miami fans think the problem with the team runs deeper than having or not having Tua Tagovailoa on the field. It starts with head coach Mike McDaniel and the other problems are also in the front office and ownership as well. It won’t get any easier for them as they face the Buffalo Bills on the road next weekend.
