The NFL coaching carousel continued to spin Thursday after the Miami Dolphins fired head coach Mike McDaniel after four seasons with the organization.

Owner Stephen Ross announced the news, citing the need for “overarching change” after the team missed the playoffs for the second year in a row with a 7-10 record this season.

“After careful evaluation and extensive post-season discussions, I have determined that our organization is in need of comprehensive change,” the statement said.

“This morning I informed Mike McDaniel that he has been relieved of his duties as head coach. I love Mike and want to thank him for the hard work, dedication and energy he brings to our organization. Mike is an incredibly creative football mind whose passion for the game and its players was evident every day. I wish him and his family all the best moving forward.”

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Thursday that the team has not reached out to John Harbaugh, the hottest coach on the market, after the Baltimore Ravens made the shocking decision to fire the Super Bowl champion coach after 18 seasons.
