Summary

John Harbaugh hits the market—could this be the franchise’s moment to finally elevate its culture and playoff pedigree? With parallels to the infamous Jim Harbaugh pursuit, owner Stephen Ross faces tough choices on Mike McDaniel’s future and the risks of repeating past mistakes. Kyle Crabbs spotlights why Harbaugh’s program-building blueprint makes him a needle-moving candidate, outclassing previous first-time hires like Brian Flores and Adam Gase. The discussion highlights the Dolphins’ GM search, connections to Baltimore’s front office, and the urgency created by a crowded field of interested teams. Key issues include Miami’s lingering concerns about Tyreek Hill’s fit, salary cap challenges, and whether the organization will make a bold, high self-esteem move or hesitate and lose out again. Will the Dolphins commit to a winning formula, or settle for status quo?
