Someone Snapped An Odd Pic Of Mike McDaniel At The Most Unlikely Place Shortly After His Firing From The Miami Dolphins [PHOTO]

Mike McDaniel may be without a job, but he is not unhappy. The Miami Dolphins fired head coach Mike McDaniel after his fourth NFL season.

There are multiple big-name coaches available this offseason, so his ousting was expected. Some of the top candidates to replace McDaniel in Miami could include John Harbaugh and Kevin Stefanski. The team has also requested an interview with Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula.

Miami had a nightmare season in 2025. The team began the year with an ugly 33-8 road loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The Dolphins wouldn’t get their first victory until Sept. 29 against the New York Jets. However, the Dolphins lost wide receiver Tyreek Hill for the season with a dislocated knee and torn ligaments, including his ACL.

Weeks later, Tua Tagovailoa called out players for being late to team meetings. Everything was falling apart for Mike McDaniel, and the writing was on the wall.

Days after being ousted from his position, McDaniel knew just what to do with his free time. One fan took a picture of him while on the horse carousel at Magic Kingdom.

What’s Next For Mike McDaniel?

Former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is not going to be without a job for long. The Miami Dolphins fired him Thursday after four seasons as the franchise’s head coach. He might be down, but he is not out.

The 42-year-old McDaniel is now looking into the abyss of his NFL career and asking what’s next. What one man doesn’t want, another man will gladly take. McDaniel will interview for the Titans job on Wednesday, according to NFL Network. The Titans are coming off a 3-14 campaign behind rookie quarterback Cam Ward, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Tennessee’s offense ranked just ahead of the Raiders for last place in yards per game.

The Cleveland Browns are also in on Mike McDaniel. They are expected to interview him for the team’s current opening at head coach “next week,” according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Cleveland concluded its 2025 campaign with a 5-12 record.
