Dolphins fire head coach Mike McDaniel after four seasons citing need for ‘comprehensive change’

, , 

The NFL coaching carousel continued to spin on Thursday after the Miami Dolphins fired head coach Mike McDaniel after four seasons with the organization. 

Owner Stephen Ross announced the news citing a need for “comprehensive change” after the team missed the playoffs for a second straight year with a 7-10 finish this season. 

“After careful evaluation and extensive discussions since the season ended, I have made the decision that our organization is in need of comprehensive change,” the statement read. 

“I informed Mike McDaniel this morning that he has been relieved of his duties as head coach. I love Mike and want to thank him for his hard work, commitment, and the energy he brought to our organization. Mike is an incredibly creative football mind whose passion for the game and his players was evident every day. I wish him and his family the best moving forward.”

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Thursday that the team has not contacted John Harbaugh, the hottest coach on the market after the Baltimore Ravens made the shocking decision to axe the Super Bowl champion coach after 18 seasons.
