Mike McDaniel and the Miami Dolphins are continuing to utterly collapse in the 2025 season, nd a previously unminded hint has shown how bad it has become. On Monday, Underdog Fantasy's Josh Norris pointed to a scene of the head coach yelling "Get off the field!" at starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa after he threw a pick-six during Sunday's 6-31 loss at the equally disastrous Cleveland Browns:
It was the former Pro Bowler's third interception of the day, which led to his benching for seventh-round rookie Quinn Ewers. After the game, however, McDaniel insisted that the hierarchy would not change and that Tagovailoa was still his starting quarterback:

He also shared what they learned from watching film of that game:
"We ...had direct communication about the ebbs and flows of the game and how we can both improve for each other. When you go through a performance like that, I don't see it as all on a player or coach. It's a working relationship, and we both have to get better together because that's not good enough."Adam Schefter provides update on Mike McDaniel's future with Dolphins
The Tua Tagovailoa incident is just another microcosm of how toxic Mike McDaniel's tenure has become in Miami. However, Adam Schefter believes nothing will come of it, and the status quo will remain, at least in the short term, as he put it on Monday's episode of ESPN's GET UP:
"I was told yesterday, again this morning, not happening right now. ...There are going to be changes made in that organization... but for the people that are waiting for some type of ESPN alert that's going to flash across their phone this morning, it doesn't sound like that is the plan."McDaniel himself acknowledged the need to be better at his job during his presser, especially after falling to .500 as a head coach:
“The way I look at this job is I find it very offensive to all parties involved if I'm thinking about having a job. I need to be doing my job. As long as I’m the coach for the Miami Dolphins, they will get everything from me.”The Dolphins' next game will be at the Atlanta Falcons on October 26. Kickoff is at 1 pm ET on CBS.
