FINALLY! The Dolphins' 2025 Season Ends With A Whimper But The Real Work Has Only Just Begun

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?00:00 "Stephen Ross, Dolphins Coaching Saga"04:56 "Stephen Ross’ Coaching Dilemma"06:24 "John Harbaugh Out in Baltimore"11:36 "Zocdoc: Find Your Perfect Doctor"14:26 "Lessons from the 2011 Saga"20:40 "Dolphins Decisions and Future Risks"24:55 Baltimore's GM Grooming Legacy26:29 "Dolphins' Virtual Interview Updates"29:10 "Go for It or Don't"Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
