Mike McDaniel looks as defeated as his Dolphins.

At his media availability, both immediately after the 27-24 loss to the Panthers and on Monday, the head coach’s body language said everything he didn’t.

McDaniel was asked about meeting with owner Stephen Ross after the Dolphins lost a 17-point lead to the Panthers.

“He was really frustrated, as I was,” McDaniel said. “We talked about the challenge ahead to get ready for the Chargers. That was kind of the extent of it.”

The way things are going, McDaniel isn’t likely to keep his job much longer. The Dolphins are 1-4, and he is 9-13 since the start of the 2024 season.

Miami made the postseason in McDaniel’s first two seasons, giving him a 29-27 overall record in three-plus seasons.
