Greg Cote’s Poll Dance: On Dolphins’ future of McDaniel, Grier and Hill. Vote!
There is open speculation the Miami Dolphins may make sweeping changes if they fail to make the playoffs for a second straight year. The assumed likelihood is that jobs are on the line for both head coach Mike McDaniel and general manager Chris Grier -- and also that star receiver Tyreek Hill could be traded during the season if things go south.
Our question today is complicated and admittedly near-impossible to answer one game into the season. To do so may reveal your level of faith whether this will be a playoff season or not. The question, in effect, is a referendum on your belief that McDaniel/Grier/Hill is the right nucleus now and moving forward to make Miami a contender.
The question, in effect, may be taken as whether you want this core-three back or think the club should move on from it?
Simply put: Do you think McDaniel, Grier and Hill all will still be with the team when the 2026 season starts? Best gut-feeling. Would you bet on it ... or against it?
Vote as many times as you like or until your fingers ache.
