Rap: Mike McDaniel's job status "firmly up in the air."
Nothing imminent but will be judged on if the players keep playing for him.

If Washington is smart they'll be looking for an OC next season.I would think he would be somewhat of a hot commodity for an OC gig somewhere.

He's simplified the plays he calls and has become quite predictable. And his offensive line needs some serious coaching.Kliff no good?If Washington is smart they'll be looking for an OC next season.I would think he would be somewhat of a hot commodity for an OC gig somewhere.
Terrible play at LG, bad play at RG, RT. Paul at LT is poor at run blocking, C Brewer gives up too many pressures. How can plays work with such a bad oline and a QB who doesn't scramble. Tua needs a good oline to have a chance. The 2022 & 2023 lines had some players - Hunt, Armstead, Connor Williams until he got hurt.His plays would work better if he did not have Tua as his QB
I've seen Peyton Manning scramble better in his twighlight years than what Tua did last night, and I'm pretty sure Manning ran in scuba fins.Terrible play at LG, bad play at RG, RT.

A problem with the Dolphins is that they don’t seem to have any quality leaders. For most teams, their coach or QB are leaders, but both McDaniel and Tua come across as horrible leaders. Who do the Dolphins have to rally the troops when some of those troops start to quit?I say this not to pile on or insult fin fans but that team quit last night
And so it begins....Grier fired...
Have to imagine the only reason McDaniel is still around is that they don't want to make a coaching change mid-season and have to do it all over again in the offseason. Also a good chance that Tua winds up being one the top backup QBs somewhere else next year.
Probably a big reason why GM Chris Grier was just let go.Have to imagine the only reason McDaniel is still around is that they don't want to make a coaching change mid-season and have to do it all over again in the offseason.

Here is what his contract looks like...ouch!

I say this not to pile on or insult fin fans but that team quit last night and Tua is not good. No heart, they come across as front runners who play well if they're ahead but are quick to fold when things don't go there way even with the game still in reach. The whole sequence before halftime on top of Tua's execution at the end was dreadful a and non-sensical. McDaniel is a dead man walking, imo.

				I don't the narrative that teams quit in the NFL. You have 53 professionals in an occupation with a very short income-producing window, who are being evaluated on every play by multiple people, not just PFF. Tua engineered one of Miami's biggest comebacks ever at BAL just 3 years ago, down by 21 in the 4th quarter ... with a much better group of players. Many players on the team will have trouble getting an NFL paycheck next year.I say this not to pile on or insult fin fans but that team quit last night and Tua is not good.
