The Miami Dolphins are reeling after a tough Thanksgiving loss to the Green Bay Packers, and former star Reggie Bush is calling for a major change. Bush took to Instagram to declare “Fire the coach!” after the 30-17 defeat.
Bush’s frustration is understandable, but it’s worth noting that his time with the Dolphins was before Mike McDaniel took the helm. McDaniel has led the team to a 25-21 record and two playoff appearances in his three seasons.
Despite this, the current season has been a challenge, with the team sitting at 5-7. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s battle with a head injury has undoubtedly affected the team’s dynamics.
But the Dolphins’ struggles go beyond injuries. The numbers tell a stark story when it comes to playing in cold weather and facing top-tier teams. Miami has a dismal 0-12 record in games played in 40-degree weather or colder.
Moreover, against teams with a winning record, the Dolphins have secured only one win in their last 16 outings under McDaniel. These stats highlight the team’s current hurdles and areas for improvement.
Reggie Bush’s criticism puts the Dolphins in a reflective mode. As the season progresses, all eyes will be on McDaniel and his squad to see how they handle these challenges.
Can the Dolphins turn their season around and prove their critics wrong?
