The Miami Dolphins are looking for another head coach, but who will that end up being in 2016?
It was a season that started with some pundits picking the Miami Dolphins to be a surprise breakout team — but it has ended like so many of the other previous seasons in Miami.
Joe Philbin was fired when the team returned from London in the first half of the season, which has given the Dolphins plenty of time to think about who they want to pursue and approach to be the team’s next head coach. That doesn’t mean it’s the best job in the NFL, but there are plenty of things to like about the Miami gig moving forward.
Whoever steps in will have a mostly clean slate to work with, and Ryan Tannehill hasn’t totally busted as a franchise quarterback. That being said, there’s a ton that needs to be worked on in South Beach before the Dolphins are true contenders — which is a challenge that a coaching candidate might be down to tackle.
Miami isn’t a total disaster, but whoever takes the job next is going to have their work cut out for them. The multi-million dollar question is who will that end up being?
