Former Dolphins player, Raheem Mostert, has highlighted what went wrong under his former coach, Mike McDaniel, who was fired this year and now serves as the offensive coordinator under Jim Harbaugh in Los Angeles. Mostert believes that McDaniel was too player-friendly and that this lack of leadership could have a detrimental impact on the team. He also noted that the NFL requires a stern presence for a successful team to succeed. McDaniel's tenure as head coach led to a 7-10 in the 2025 season and 8-9 the season prior, leading to his dismissal.
