Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has thrown six interceptions in the last two weeks and he’s leading the league with 10 interceptions, but head coach Mike McDaniel says he isn’t wavering in his belief that the quarterback is the right person for the job. McDaniel said on Monday that Tagovailoa will start against the Falcons in Week 8 and offered another …

Let’s take a moment to credit my colleague Conor Orr for naming Tua Tagovailoa and Kyler Murray as potential trade candidates to headline next year’s quarterback carousel.  Orr wrote that back in August and it’s now become clear that Tagovailoa’s and Murray’s days could be numbered with the teams that drafted them.   It would be surprising if one of those …

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel did not lose his job on Monday and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa kept his as well. McDaniel said after Sunday’s 31-6 loss to the Browns that “everything is on the table” concerning changes in the wake of what he deemed a “very, very humbling loss” that dropped the team to 1-6 on the season. On Monday, …

When Mike McDaniel was hired as the Miami Dolphins’ new head coach in 2022, he brought a new energy to the franchise. McDaniel was quirky but it worked. He got the best out of Tua Tagovailoa. Miami’s offense was so hot that for a moment there were several (very regrettable) comparisons to the Rams’ “Greatest Show on Turf” era. McDaniel …

Nick Saban, who coached Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa at Alabama, didn’t like the way Tagovailoa handled his frustration with the way teammates are missing team meetings. Saban told Pat McAfee that Tagovailoa shouldn’t have taken internal issues to the media, as he did after Sunday’s loss, and that Tagovailoa did the right thing by admitting he shouldn’t have talked publicly …

Wednesday marked Tagovailoa’s first session with the media since Sunday, and he told reporters he met with his teammates and answered for his actions, believing the matter is now behind them. “I would say guys had questions about it. So you gotta answer those questions,” Tagovailoa said. “The why. Some of the whys were, ‘at the time I didn’t think …

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa said Wednesday he wants to “publicly apologize” and “move forward” after calling out his team’s leaders following last Sunday’s Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Tagovailoa told reporters after Sunday’s 29-27 loss that he felt improving “starts with the leadership” before adding that some team members had been late to players’ meetings. “I …

It’s no surprise that Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa opened his Wednesday press conference with a public apology for his ill-advised venting about players being late or not showing up for “player-only” meetings. There’s still an unanswered question about which players Tua was calling out with his comments. His apology obscures that question. Who is it that wasn’t doing the “little …

Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa opened Wednesday’s press conference by apologizing for comments he made in the wake of last Sunday’s loss to the Chargers. Tagovailoa took issue with “guys not showing up to player-only meetings,” which led head coach Mike McDaniel and other Dolphins players to say that those issues were better handled inside the locker room than at a …

Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa caused a stir with his postgame comments following the Dolphins’ loss to the Chargers on Sunday. Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters in his Wednesday press conference that the team has dealt with it and he’s ready to move on. “The first, last and only thing if I have anything to say about it, and I …
