How Does Mike McDaniel Stack Up To The Current Miami Dolphins Head Coaching Candidates?

Miami Dolphins face a pivotal coaching decision as a wide range of candidates—Robert Saleh, Anthony Campanile, Kevin Stefanski, Klint Kubiak, Jeff Hafley, and Chris Shula—emerge as top contenders to replace Mike McDaniel. Can the Dolphins find the right leader to guide a full franchise reset, or will familiar pitfalls resurface?

Kyle Crabbs breaks down each candidate's credentials, including ties to South Florida, offensive stability, and culture-building ability. The analysis highlights key criteria such as previous NFL head coaching experience, winning track record, and front office connections, stacking each coach against McDaniel’s legacy. With Matt LaFleur rumors swirling and names like Mike Tomlin and John Harbaugh off the board, the Dolphins’ choice could dramatically reshape the team’s future. Are Dolphins fans ready for a bold new era, or will organizational alignment remain elusive in Miami’s evolving football landscape?
