The Miami Dolphins are dealing with a lot of rumors about who will lead the team next season. Right now, Mike McDaniel is still the head coach, but the team has not yet promised that he will stay for 2026. This has led many people to wonder if a big change is coming. The situation became even more confusing when a well-known reporter said the Dolphins had already reached out to John Harbaugh, the former coach of the Ravens.
However, another trusted reporter from the Miami Herald says those rumors are not true. According to his sources, the Dolphins have not talked to Harbaugh at all. While this makes it seem like McDaniel’s job is safe for now, the team still has not made an official announcement. It is an awkward time for everyone because the team is looking for a new general manager while their current coach is left waiting for answers.
One reason the team might be quiet is that they are waiting to see how much interest other teams have in Harbaugh. If a legendary coach like him becomes available, the Dolphins might find it hard to say no. At the same time, McDaniel is still acting as the coach and is even helping the team look for its next general manager. He has told reporters that he plans to keep doing his job until someone tells him otherwise.
The Dolphins are also dealing with other big decisions, like what to do with their star players and their quarterback situation. Because there is so much work to do, the team owners likely want to make sure they have the right leaders in place. For now, fans are getting mixed signals about whether the team will stick with McDaniel or try to hire a big name like Harbaugh. The next few weeks will be very important for the future of the franchise.
