Well I think we have our answer. I could be wrong, but my guess is Harbaugh is not coming here. That means the interview candidate(s) probably fired McDaniel. Will be interesting who the HC ends up being. And if it feels like a Sullivan hire or a Ross hire. At least they moved quickly, because if the new GM has authority to be the decision maker on the HC hire, he is now in place to do it!
 
I believe that for every one of the 32 NFL teams it is the owner who hires and fires the head coach. And for probably 50% of the teams it is the owner who decides which player is selected for the teams first round draft selection. GM is largely an administrative position.

Was it Ross? He ultimately has to pull the trigger, but I think he did not get there on his own because McDaniel would have been fired during the season or right on Black Monday.

I don't think it was primarily Aikman's input, because McDaniel would have been gone on Black Monday too.

Therefore I am left with two choices:

They have a backdoor deal with Harbaugh already, and had to announce the McDaniel firing to get Harbaugh in here.

OR

The interview candidates themselves fired McDaniel. They all came in with huge reservations about working with him. They may have even lost candidates, like Alex Halaby, who could have said "no way no how will I work with him for even a year" and excused himself from the process. It is really odd, Halaby, with his background, did not make it to the final 4, but Champ Kelly, of all people did.

It could be Harbaugh, but I am going with the interview candidates. It is a tough call.

Once again, this feels like not the most straightforward of processes. That is for sure.

highly unlikely there is a backdoor deal with harbaugh this early. He's got his pick of jobs, I'm sure he's going to take a beat and then entertain the most appealing destination for him. what do we have to offer vs others? maybe money, maybe more control? but other destinations will be considered as well. way too early in the process

All joking aside, if you believe multiple reports that the Dolphins conducted independent GM interviews, then firing McDaniel on Wednesday with in person interviews with 4 GMs on Thursday gave us the most likely reason imo.

Why would Ross or Aikman fire McDaniel the day before if any of the best GM candidates pitched working together? This goes for Champ Kelly too.

Interview candidates? That's a **** ton of sway before getting hired...

There’s been so much of your #beingwrong over the past month that you should never point fingers again.

…and definitely shouldn’t go romping into someone’s DMs talking ****.
