McDaniel was head coach of the Dolphins from 2022 to ‘25. He led the team to the playoffs in each of his first two years at the helm but missed out in both of the last two seasons. Overall, he went 35–33 in Miami, and now will look for a fresh start in a new organization.

Mike McDaniel definitely won't be the head coach of one other AFC team next season, but this time it's by choice.
