According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Mike McDaniel was open to making a quarterback switch for Week 16 after Tagovailoa struggled in Week 15. "Everything is on the table," McDaniel answered in response to a question about the Dolphins' plan for a quarterback change in Week 16.

McDaniel hinted over the summer that he understood his seat could be at least somewhat warm after he failed to guide Miami to a playoff win over his first three seasons in charge. The 2025 Dolphins then fell to 2-7 before the organization and general manager Chris Grier "mutually" agreed to part ways on Oct. 31.

The Miami Dolphins are hot entering Monday night's matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but will a strong finish be enough for Mike McDaniel to keep his job?

There was plenty of speculation regarding Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel's job security earlier this year, but the team's recent surge could be enough to keep him in the fold.

The Miami Dolphins faced the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football, attempting to even their record at 7-7. It did not happen.
