The current head coach of the Miami Dolphins is Mike McDaniel. He was named the 11th head coach in the team's history on February 7, 2022. McDaniel brought a fresh offensive approach to the Dolphins after spending several years as an assistant coach in the NFL, including being the offensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers. Under his leadership, the Dolphins made the playoffs in his first two seasons (2022 and 2023) but experienced some struggles in the 2024 and 2025 seasons. Despite recent challenges and a slow start in the 2025 season, the Dolphins owner Stephen Ross expressed full support for McDaniel, who remains under contract through 2028.

Mike McDaniel is known for a dynamic offensive system that initially revitalized the Dolphins' offense, including a record-setting 70-point game in the 2023 season. However, injuries and team performance issues have affected the team's overall success recently.

In summary, Mike McDaniel has been the Miami Dolphins head coach since 2022, with mixed results but solid organizational support as of September 2025.
