MIAMI, Jan. 8 (UPI) -- The Miami Dolphins fired coach Mike McDaniel, owner Stephen Ross announced Thursday.

McDaniel led the Dolphins to a 35-33 record over four seasons. His firing came less than three months after the Dolphins split with longtime general manager Chris Grier, who hired McDaniel in 2022.

"After careful evaluation and extensive discussions since the season ended, I have made the decision that our organization is in need of comprehensive change," Ross said in a statement. "I informed Mike McDaniel this morning that he has been relieved of his duties as head coach.

"I love Mike and want to thank him for his hard work, commitment and the energy he brought to our organization. Mike is an incredibly creative football mind whose passion for the game and his players was evident every day. I wish him and his family the best moving forward."
