There must be a richer and more ironic word than good luck Here’s what’s going on in the life of Dolphins owner Stephen Ross. I’ll get the facts out in a moment. But for now, let’s turn the clock back a few months (or years) to a secret recess in their office, his building, where a plot to overthrow the NFL’s rules was underway.
This is a Dolphins franchise that is hungry for relevance and has tried multiple times to dupe Tom Brady out of the Patriots and Buccaneers. When Ross left the Saints and entered the world of broadcasting, he was in Sean Peyton’s ear. For Ross’ misconduct, the Dolphins strip him of his 2023 first-round pick and his 2024 third-round pick, fine him $1.5 million and keep him out until Oct. 17. Suspended, Limited fined him $500,000 for his partner Bruce’s beer. Additionally, Ross has been banned from all league his meetings this year. Ross wanted Brady so badly that he was willing to give him ownership, reportedly. And let’s not forget, this was the club that was in hot talks with Deshawn Watson at last year’s trade deadline.
Tagovailoa became the second youngest player since 1950 to throw for at least 450 yards and 6 TDs.

And after being released from the NFL’s Special Investigation Unit, Ross has said that for the past four years, no one has hired Mike McDaniel yet if you ask anyone within a stone’s throw of the Kyle Shanahan tree. I discovered that He was one of the brightest minds in the game. He’s the architect of the league’s most copied scheme, as much a coach as his name sits on a tree (and yes, here he is on the head coach’s watchlist in 2019). I feel safe spiking my football a bit because I’m doing it.).
Imagine getting caught in a bank robbery, getting out of prison, and buying land strewn with gold nuggets. Call it luck or whatever you want. Some dudes have it all.
The Dolphins are 2-0, but more importantly, it’s a success story that completely eschewed the philosophy Ross adopted, one that led Ross to act like the swackhammer of the Space Jam. It’s a real plan (Michael Jordan would never allow it). McDaniel’s regime seems to be trying to understand players from a holistic perspective. Meet them at their level and create something that is the sum of their greatest parts. , against one of the most consistently gifted defenses, they bounced back from a three-touchdown deficit largely based on the Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill philosophy. , Jaylen Waddle and others are good at certain things. It’s the first time in over a decade that an NFL team has come back from his 21-plus points down in the fourth quarter, according to ESPN Stats and Information. In a game that made Tua the second-youngest player since 1950, he had at least 450 passing yards and his six touchdowns behind Patrick Mahomes.
I’m not saying Peyton and Brady were great. Payton has whatever job he wants in 2023, and the Buccaneers are 2-0, even though Brady missed most of the preseason.
But there are coaches like McDaniel all around the NFL, saying… There’s another way. Unfortunately, they are often overlooked when placed next to the game’s perceived stalwarts. Still, if Ross, or the owners who have tried and failed to hire a head coach since 2019, look into the NFL, they say McDaniels are the real deal and Shanahan does great things. I told you I did (and did). I promise to keep him a secret.
I don’t know how long this will last, but it’s an early reminder to those in hiring positions that they have other options. Peyton’s voicemail box is currently full. Bill Cowher probably won’t leave CBS Studios. Bill Parcells, at his 81, Sean McVay’s only unemployed friend is a friend from high school who isn’t in the coaching business. So why not turn on the game every week and think about the sources of creativity we see on the field right now. ask a question.
The truth is, no one ever falls upwards like this again. Seeing that left him openly upset, landed on a coach willing to dig in and just make it work. Create an attack he was comfortable with.
How does that sound after six touchdown passes and 469 passing yards?
