Mike McDaniel announce unexpected message today ” so sad..
MIAMI — Don’t talk to Mike McDaniel about expectations.
Or at least, don’t expect him to care.
The Miami Dolphins’ third-year coach has led his team to the playoffs in each of his first two seasons but has yet to capture the franchise’s first postseason win since 2000. After paying big for star talent such as wide receiver Tyreek Hill, defensive end Bradley Chubb, offensive tackle Terron Armstead and defensive back Jalen Ramsey over the past two seasons, the bill came due this offseason as several Miami free agents signed elsewhere.
Starters such as defensive tackle Christian Wilkins and guard Robert Hunt signed massive contracts with the Las Vegas Raiders and Carolina Panthers, respectively, while key rotational players in linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel, defensive tackle Raekwon Davis and safety Brandon Jones signed with the Minnesota Vikings, Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos, respectively. Miami also released veterans in linebacker Jerome Baker, defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah and cornerback Xavien Howard, leaving last season’s 10th-ranked defense in need of restructuring.
