Dolphins rumors: Mike McDaniel meeting left Stephen Ross ‘conflicted’ before firing

With the Miami Dolphins firing head coach Mike McDaniel after four seasons with the franchise, the decision was made following a meeting between him and owner Stephen Ross. As the Dolphins continue their search for a general manager, they’ll now add head coach to the shopping list, which was apparently needed after Ross felt “conflicted” by the meeting, according to Jeff Darlington.

“Some context into the Dolphins’ decision to fire Mike McDaniel, per multiple people involved in the decision: Owner Steve Ross met with McDaniel on Tuesday, and the outcome of the meeting left Ross very conflicted,” Darlington wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

“He really likes Mike — ‘loves his intelligence and offensive mind’ — but Tuesday’s meeting resulted in some hard thoughts,” Darlington continued. “Ross didn’t feel like the results were there, and despite the end-of-year production, Ross simply wasn’t comfortable moving forward with the ‘status quo.’”
