As if there was any doubt, head coach Mike McDaniel is going to be back with the Miami Dolphins next year.
According to ESPN’s Jeff Darlington, the Dolphins are set to move forward with all three of McDaniel, general manager Chris Grier, and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
“Dolphins haven’t had any conversations about moving onto next season without Mike McDaniel, Chris Grier, or Tua Tagovailoa (assuming he’s healthy), per sources. All three remain in the team’s plans,” Darlington tweeted.
Considering that the Dolphins just made the playoffs for the first time since 2016 and gave the Bills everything they could handle on Sunday afternoon, this was always the likeliest outcome.
Fans on social media are not surprised by Darlington’s report.
“I figured this would be the case. People have been calling for Grier’s head, but that never seemed realistic,” another tweet read.
The Dolphins will now focus on taking another step forward next season as they haven’t won a playoff game since 2000.
