Mike McDaniel is unlikely to keep his Miami head-coaching job through Week 10 of the 2025 season.

What we’re scoring
The actual rendered Schefter image identifies McDaniel at the Miami press podium. Preserve the author unlikely/lucky formulation and earlier Week 10 horizon. This restores the earlier tenure forecast in the existing 2025 departure family; later before-season-end timing is an unscored revision.
The ruling
Miami dismissed McDaniel on January 8, 2026, after the entire 2025 season. He therefore remained head coach beyond Week 10.

Both records predict the same continuous Mike McDaniel departure from Miami during the 2025 season. Preserve the earlier original under the departure legacy key, including the separately approved August 4 Week 10 reconciliation before this merge. The September season-end timing is a revision, not another scored loss. This merge does not regrade either record.
