The Miami Dolphins are facing significant disappointment after their recent loss to the Houston Texans, leaving them with a 26-24 record under coach Mike McDaniel. The team has struggled since 2022, showing little improvement and only two playoff appearances without any wins.

With a poor roster construction and a lack of success against playoff teams, the Dolphins need to make substantial changes in personnel and approach to avoid further regression. The future of McDaniel and general manager Chris Grier hangs in the balance as the team must reassess their strategies moving into 2025.
