After two successful years, Mike McDaniel is staying in Miami.

The Miami Dolphins head coach has reportedly signed a contract extension that will keep him with the Dolphins through the 2028 season, per ESPN’s Jeff Darlington. Details of the deal have not been reported.

McDaniel joined the Miami Dolphins as head coach in 2022, signing a four-year contract with an undisclosed salary. Since then, the young coach has led the Dolphins to back-to-back playoff appearances for the first time since 2001. (In both years, Miami lost in the wild-card round.)

Under McDaniel, who was a former offensive coordinator and run coordinator, the Dolphins had the top-ranked offense in the league in 2023. McDaniel has also had strong success with Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Tagovailoa has praised McDaniel for his approach and his ability to bring out the best in him. Tagovailoa just signed a long-term deal of his own, agreeing to a four-year, $214.4 million contract in July.

Per Darlington, McDaniel has a solid sense of cohesion with general manager Chris Grier and CEO Tom Garfinkel, as well as senior VP of football and business administration Brandon Shore — creating a sense of franchise unity that Dolphins owner Steve Ross is particularly pleased with.

With the extension set, the 41-year-old coach will now turn his attention toward the 2024 season, as the Dolphins will attempt to make the playoffs again and hopefully nab their first postseason win since 2000.
