At this point I have to agree.
Since the organization chooses to obscure who's responsible for what and hold them individually accountable, the only answer is to fire everyone and install a new regime. Hopefully one that features individuals who will stand up and own what the hell is going on.
Maybe. It is interesting that Green Bay, Houston and San Francisco are all teams in the hunt. The 49ers have been to two super bowls over the past three years. The Packers have been knocking on the door. The Texans are just getting started. Sean McVay won a super bowl with the Rams. Kevin O'Connell is off to a great start in Minnesota.
What do they all have in common? The same coaching tree that started with Mike Shanahan. Of course, McDaniel is part of that coaching tree as well.
That doesn't mean Miami should keep McDaniel, but I do think he gets another year regardless of how fans feel. So, I guess the question is how does McDaniel get better, or does he? He was pretty slow to adapt to teams taking away Hill and Waddle, but he's generally got there by using Smith, more of a running game, taking what the defense gives etc.
Kyle Shanahan started slowly with SF. There was talk early on about whether he was the right choice, but he took over a team that was bad so he had some leeway there. Pairing him with John Lynch proved to be a good fit. Lynch added physical players, even on the offensive line which before was more about smaller, quicker guys.
I don't know the answer for the Dolphins. I hate that Miami is soft. That's not winning football, even with the fastest team in football that can create mismatches everywhere. Can McDaniel start to emphasize a more physical approach? Can Grier bring in better guards and add physicality to this team?
If not, I think Wes Welker might be interesting. Again, here's someone who hasn't coached. But he has a background with Bill Bellichick and Mike Shanahan.
