Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel has signed a contract extension that will keep him with the team through the 2028 season. This decision follows his successful tenure, leading the Dolphins to back-to-back playoff appearances for the first time in 23 years, although they have not won a playoff game in 24 years. Under McDaniel, the Dolphins achieved the top-ranked offense in the NFL during the 2023 season, a significant milestone for the franchise. The extension reflects the Dolphins' confidence in both McDaniel and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who also signed a major contract extension recently. McDaniel's leadership style, characterized by respect and positivity, has resonated well with players and staff alike. The specifics of the contract have not been disclosed, but it solidifies McDaniel's role amid rising Super Bowl aspirations for the team.
