Dolphins' Darren Waller says he was kicked out of exit meeting with coach Mike McDaniel before firing

The Miami Dolphins fired head coach Mike McDaniel last week, and Darren Waller almost found himself right in the thick of it.

"I was at the scene of the crime, bro. I think I was the last person to see him before he got fired," the Dolphins tight end said in a recent appearance on Johnny Manziel's podcast.

Waller said he was in his exit interview with McDaniel discussing possibilities for the 2026 season before owner Stephen Ross "kicked the door open" roughly 10 minutes into their discussion.
