The best help Mike McDaniel could get with the Dolphins may come from Tyreek Hill, says former player O.J. McDuffie

The Miami Dolphins failed to reach the postseason last year for the first time under head coach Mike McDaniel, a setback many attribute to the extended absence of star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. A concussion forced Tagovailoa to miss several games, and although the team mounted a late push, it was not enough to secure a playoff berth or make a run at the championship.

McDaniel’s arrival, however, has been transformative for the franchise. In his first season, the Dolphins reached the postseason as the secondplace team in the AFC East. Before McDaniel’s tenure, Miami had only appeared in the playoffs three times since 2001 and had never done so in consecutive years. That historical context highlights the significant impact he has already had on the organization.

The Dolphins boast one of the league’s most talented rosters, and expectations are high. Reaching the postseason should be the minimum standard, but the ultimate goal is advancing beyond the wildcard round and contending seriously for a Super Bowl.

Former Dolphins wide receiver O.J. McDuffie believes the team’s next step depends less on pure talent and more on a shift in culture. He argues that Miami must embrace greater responsibility, professionalism, and discipline, building an identity rooted in accountability. Those values, McDuffie says, must come from the top down.

McDaniel has established principles centered on consistency, but in the NFL, leadership cannot rest solely with coaches. Players, especially stars, must embody those values daily and set the tone inside the locker room. McDuffie insists that young players entering the league must leave college habits behind and immediately demonstrate maturity when they step into an NFL facility.

Something has to give. When we talk about culture, responsibility, and accountability, those words right there are foremost. It starts at the top. It really starts with Mike, and Mike has got to be the one that’s got to keep everybody in line. Everybody got to be professional. That’s the key. We are not in college or high school anymore. Do your job, let Mike do his job. If everybody does their job, and they do it professionally, you are going to have a successful program.

McDuffie referenced Bill Belichick’s New England teams, where leaders like Tom Brady, Mike Vrabel, and Tedy Bruschi embodied discipline and spread it throughout the roster. He believes Miami needs a similar structure, with Tyreek Hill and Tagovailoa serving as pillars of this culture.

It starts with Mike McDaniel, Tua Tagovailoa, and then the rest of the team fall in line. Tyreek’s probably our best player. So he has to lead by example too… We need Tyreek to step up in that leadership role and be the guy that is also doing things right, showing our team the right example on how to be successful.

Things don’t look easy for Miami, but if they apply McDuffie’s advice, things might get easier for them.
