Summary

Miami Dolphins face offseason uncertainty as the team closes a disappointing 7-10 season. Will a new general manager or potential coaching changes jumpstart a franchise revival? Kyle Crabbs examines the fallout from the Week 18 blowout against the New England Patriots, scrutinizing Miami's catastrophic third-quarter performances, quarterback challenges with Tua Tagovailoa, and the absence of key skill players including Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and Devon Achane. The breakdown includes insights on possible general manager candidates, competition with the Atlanta Falcons for front office talent, and the impact of Miami’s draft capital—highlighting five top-100 picks, including the 11th overall selection. Kyle Crabbs questions whether ownership will keep Mike McDaniel as head coach or opt for a fresh start. With trade rumors swirling and the roster entering a pivotal offseason, can the Dolphins fix their persistent issues and finally change their narrative in the AFC East?
