I felt like he did pretty well after the GM firing. I think he gets atleast a chance to prove his case to the new regime.

I would give him the chance to coach next year, but the seat is burning hot and could easily be a mid season firing. Also I would start looking now at possible options for replacement if you do have to fire him next year.

Wealthy owners are impatient and often aren't wiling to give coaches a real chance to build a team. They expect instant success even if injuries hold the team back. Many don't really understand how hard it is to build a winning culture that allows a team to be good on a regular basis.

i came up with a WILD theory as to why QB3 Quinn Ewers leapfrogged QB2 Zach Wilson and was named starter of the Dolphins.,.

Mike McDaniel has a deal in place to trade for Mac Jones in the off season. Kyle wants to replace Mac with Zach Wilson. keeping Zach on the bench doesn't allow him to increase his value or let the rest of the league evaluate him.

or its more likely Mike just knows Zach Wilson sucks.

Bad idea to being in a new qb and give him a 1 year lame duck coach. They need to start over.

I will always root for him being one of Kyle's guys, but I think he might be a guy who is better suited as an OC than a head coach. He's still very young, so I could be wrong. But that's just my hunch on him, and guys like Zac Taylor, Stefanski, etc.

If he keeps his job in Miami, wouldn't be surprised if he makes a play for Mac Jones. Tua looks like he's done and it would be an easy transition to Mac. I say get one of their d linemen and a day 1-2 pick for Mac.

Zack Wilson, incredible arm talent...almost no football IQ

McDaniel coming to save the day for one of these mid-CEO type head coaches.

If he doesn't get his own gig, yeah, being an OC for another HC to increase his value will have to do as long as he gets to call the plays.

Him on the Lions or Ravens would be pretty scary especially with their personnel group.

Meh. Goff has been in the league for 10 years now? He is who he is.

When it comes to Lamar it's a big question mark on how McD would do with a QB that is reliant more on his athleticism. I like Lamar but I don't see him and McD as a good fit. Personality and scheme wise.
