There could be some extra heat in Miami on Mike McDaniel over his recent comments.
The Miami Dolphins hosted the San Francisco 49ers at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday. Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, and Mike McDaniel needed a win to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.
They did just that as they walked away with a 29-19 victory. At 7-8, the Dolphins still have a chance to finish with a winning record for a fifth consecutive season.
After the game, Mike McDaniel decided to do some recruiting, but in a subtle way.
Cameras caught him embracing Nick Bosa and saying, “South Florida is pretty cool.”

"South Florida is pretty cool."
Will he be investigated for tampering?

On the outside, it seems like he was just complimenting the state, but many read between the lines to see that he was trying to get Bosa on the Dolphins.

Mike McDaniel Might Be On The Hot Seat
The Dolphins are on the outside of the playoffs entering another critical week where they have to keep winning wile hoping other teams lose.
Mike McDaniel signed a three-year extension in August, but some are wondering about his future. The team has not won a single playoff game while he has been there.
The Dolphins had a similar underwhelming playoff performance last season, losing to the Chiefs 26-7.
Some have wondered about the team’s ceiling under Mike McDaniel since the team has been good at beating bad teams but struggles against teams above .500.
The Dolphins’ offense, featuring Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and De’Von Achane, is great, yet they too often struggle when the lights are the brightest.
