First NFL coach to be fired this season? [View all]
This morning my pick would be One. Mike. McDaniel. of the Miami Dolphins.
In his third season, McDaniel has repeated demonstrated he is NOT a good head coach. After 3 seasons, his teams remain wildly undisciplined, committing sometimes game changing penalties in critical situations. He is completely unable to coach in adverse situations, like losing your starting QB. I can count on one hand the number of officiating challenges he has won since becoming a head coach.
Last night, I watched what had to be the most pathetic performance by a Dolphins offense in my 53 years of being a fan of the team. I'm almost certain the offensive personnel of the 1987 Strike replacement team might have done a better job. The Cleo Lemon led 2007 Dolphins offense might have done better last night. There is far too much offensive talent on this team for them to be performing so poorly. If you haven't been following, they have scored a grand total of 18 points in the last 11 quarters.
I know McDaniel likely won't be the first coach fired (thinking the Jaguars coach will be first). At the rate he is going, McDaniel will get himself AND the entire front office of the Dolphins fired at the end of this season.
