Dolphins' Player Approval Soars Despite 7-10 Season
27 Feb
Summary
- Miami Dolphins ranked NFL's top team for third straight year.
- Team finished 2025 season with a 7-10 record.
- New coach and special teams coordinator hired for 2026.

The Miami Dolphins achieved a notable distinction in the 2026 NFLPA survey, earning the title of the league's top-ranked team for the third year in a row. This occurred despite the team's challenging 2025 season, which concluded with a 7-10 record, leading to the dismissal of both general manager Chris Grier and head coach Mike McDaniel. The survey, which anonymously assesses player feedback across 17 categories, underscores the high regard players hold for the franchise.
Owner Stephen Ross has addressed key areas for improvement identified in the survey. Jeff Hafley, formerly the Green Bay Packers' defensive coordinator, has been appointed as the new head coach. Additionally, Craig Aukerman has been replaced as the special teams coordinator. These changes reflect a commitment to enhancing the player experience and on-field performance for the upcoming season.
