The Dolphins organization confirmed the bombshell in a press release this afternoon, thanking McDaniel for his contributions over the past seasons and praising his leadership in guiding the team to back-to-back playoff appearances.
Johnson, a Hall of Fame coach with a championship pedigree, previously led the Dolphins from 1996 to 1999 after winning two Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys. Known for his fierce competitiveness and innovative strategies, Johnson’s return is already being hailed as a potential turning point for the franchise.
In his first statement since the announcement, Johnson expressed deep emotion: “The Dolphins are family to me. I’m coming back to help bring that championship culture back to Miami — where it belongs.”
Fans erupted on social media within minutes, sharing vintage clips of Johnson’s fiery locker room speeches and the glory days of Miami football. Many see this as a full-circle moment, bringing an NFL icon back to the sidelines in South Florida.
The Dolphins are now entering a new era — one led by a living legend determined to restore the team’s legacy.
