With Mike McDaniel out, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, and producer The Legendary Sevach dive headfirst into the Dolphins’ head coaching search, debating experienced winners vs. first-time hires and what kind of leader this locker room truly needs.

The conversation also turns heated as the guys react to comedian Daniel Soder’s comments defending his longtime friend Mike McDaniel — including criticism of the Dolphins organization and fan base — sparking a passionate response from O.J. and Sevach about accountability, culture, and South Florida football.

Plus:

• Why Troy Aikman’s continued role matters

• The GM process and John-Eric Sullivan’s influence

• What McDaniel got right — and where it ultimately fell apart

• A fiery “I Tried to Tell Y’all” segment with bold coaching takes

And yes… Chris Perkins and Chad Van Horn were mysteriously absent.

The Miami Dolphins have officially parted ways with head coach Mike McDaniel — and the ripple effects are just beginning.

On this episode of The Fish Tank, O.J. McDuffie and

Seth Levit are joined by Sun-Sentinel columnist Dave Hyde to react in real time

to the stunning decision by Stephen Ross. The trio dives into why the move

happened, what the Dolphins’ GM search may have revealed behind the scenes, and

how the sudden availability of John Harbaugh may have changed everything.

They also tackle the tough questions:

· Was this about one

season — or an accumulation of mistakes?

· Did McDaniel lose control of the culture?

· How much did the Tua Tagovailoa situation factor into the decision?

· And is Miami headed for a full rebuild… again?

Former Miami Hurricanes quarterback Craig Erickson joins The Fish Tank for his first-ever podcast interview to relive a remarkable football journey rooted in South Florida.

Craig reflects on leading the University of Miami to the 1989 National Championship, walking into one of the most stacked locker rooms in college football history, and what it was like competing and learning among Hurricanes legends during the program’s golden era. He also shares stories about legendary coaches like Jimmy Johnson and Dennis Erickson, unforgettable practices that were tougher than the games, and the personalities that defined those Miami teams.

The conversation turns to Craig’s NFL path—from Tampa Bay and Indianapolis to returning home in 1996 as a Miami Dolphin—where he found himself backing up Dan Marino and witnessing greatness firsthand in practice. From Marino’s legendary preparation to wild quarterback-room moments and classic Gary Stevens stories, this episode is packed with insight, humor, and nostalgia from one of football’s most unique eras.

Miami Dolphins legend John Offerdahl returns to The Fish Tank with O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit for a powerful, reflective conversation about football, life, and purpose.

Offerdahl explains the exact moment when he knew his NFL career was over, not because of injury, but because he could no longer play at the level he demanded of himself. He opens up about playing every down from college through the pros, the physical toll that came with it, and why he believes he couldn’t have played in today’s era of limited-contact practices.

The conversation also dives into:

• His record-setting college career at Western Michigan
• Comparing today’s linebackers to the era he played in
• His admiration for Dolphins LB Jordyn Brooks
• The mindset that made him a five-time Pro Bowler
• Building a second career beyond football with Offerdahl’s Bagels
• How his family and faith led to the creation of the Hand-off Meals program
• Why competition—on the field and in business—still drives everything he does

In this explosive episode of Fish Tank LIVE, hosts O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit are joined by Sun-Sentinel columnist Chris Perkins, producer The Legendary Sevach, and Chad Van Horn to react to the shocking decision to bench Tua Tagovailoa and name rookie Quinn Ewers the Miami Dolphins’ starting quarterback.

The conversation is heated, hilarious, and brutally honest as the crew debates:

• Why Tua was benched and whether his Miami era is truly over
• How Quinn Ewers leapfrogged Zach Wilson on the depth chart
• Whether this decision came from Mike McDaniel… or higher up
• If the Dolphins actually believe Ewers gives them the “best chance to win”
• And what this says about the Dolphins’ long-term quarterback plan
• 
  

Things escalate even further when Mike Oliva (DolphinsTalk) crashes the show, takes over Seth’s “I Tried To Tell Y’all” segment, and delivers one of the night’s most talked-about theories — sending the panel into full debate mode.

From pink Terrible Towels to front-office philosophy, this is Fish Tank LIVE at its most raw, real, and ridiculous.

Chris Perkins is BACK on a special late-night edition of Fish Tank LIVE, and he jumps right into the deep end with O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, The Legendary Sevach, and Chad Van Horn. After a long absence, Perk returns with strong takes on the Miami Dolphins’ identity shift, Mike McDaniel’s evolution, and why Miami’s run-game resurgence may be the team’s true path forward.

The crew breaks down the Dolphins’ four-game winning streak, old-school December football, De'Von Achane’s impact, the emergence of Jaylen Wright, and how Miami flipped several early-season concerns into surprising strengths. Perk also revisits his long-held stance on “cold-weather myths” and why this team’s recent formula gives them a real chance to make noise.

From the future of the Dolphins’ quarterback room, to whether Tyreek Hill’s absence actually unlocked the offense, to the ongoing debate over Chris Grier’s tenure and philosophy—this episode is packed with sharp analysis, laughs, and classic Fish Tank storytelling.

Plus:

• EMMY flaunting

• Seth’s Stranger Things playoff prophecy

• Chad’s Steelers-week chaos

• Sevach keeping the show on the rails (mostly)

• The latest edition of “I Tried to Tell Y’all”

• The Van Horn Law Group Legal Zone

Robert “Bull” Wilson joins The Fish Tank and tells the unbelievable story of how he signed with Miami right after two straight weeks of smoking, drinking, and hanging out in Houston. Hours before a night out in Dallas, his agent called to say he had a flight to Miami the next morning—and everything changed.

Wilson recalls showing up for practice as the only scout-team fullback because Mark Higgs “wouldn’t take reps,” cramping up so badly on the way home that Richmond Webb had to pull over for Gatorade, and the thoughts racing through his mind as Jimmy Johnson took over the team.

Wilson also opens up about:

· Living with Richmond Webb when he first arrived

· Witnessing a shirtless Zach Thomas and Larry Izzo on 595

· A sleeping “diagnosis” that manifested itself during team meetings

· His book Big Hits and Politics

Fish Tank LIVE turned into a full-blown birthday party as O.J. McDuffie celebrated another trip around the sun — and Dolphins royalty showed up in droves to crash the stream.

According to the transcript, the night kicked off with technical chaos (echoes everywhere) before Dolphins legend Richmond Webb made a surprise entrance to wish Juice a happy birthday and crack jokes about Juice’s new sports car.

From there, the guest list exploded:

• Richmond Webb sharing laughs and alumni-weekend plans
• Travis Wingfield briefly “possessed” by his alter ego T-Dogg before bringing the positivity back
• Bobby Shouse lighting up the chat with his Dive Bar chaos, including a joke about “white chicks writing an email” that sent everyone over the edge
• And Chad Van Horn, birthday hype man AND legal powerhouse, threatening to “sue everybody” for the madness unfolding on screen
• 
  

Meanwhile, Juice reflected on the love from fans and old teammates — calling it one of those rare nights that brings back the energy of a real Dolphins locker room.

Surprises. Trash talk. Alumni stories. Too many echoes. Too much laughter.

This is Fish Tank LIVE at its most unfiltered — and the perfect way to celebrate one of the most beloved Miami Dolphins of all time.
