Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel has come under further pressure after his team fell to a 29-27 loss to the LA Chargers in Week 6 of the season on Sunday. After the game, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa criticized his teammates, stating that some of them had failed to attend players-only meetings and were late to such conversations in recent weeks.

When former New England Patriots safety Rodney Harrison caught wind of Tagovailoa's comments, he slammed the Dolphins quarterback.

"I hate it, I absolutely hate it," Harrison said of Tagovailoa's post-game press conference on "NFL on NBC" on Sunday (0:14). "I was just irritated sitting here and watching it, 'cause that's something that doesn't need to be said in a public forum. That's something you say in front of your teammates."

Harrison, a two-time Super Bowl winner with the Patriots, also called for the Dolphins to fire McDaniel for what he perceived as a failure to control his players.

"This is why they (Dolphins) need a new coach," Harrison said (1:14). "This is why they need a coaching change. And I'm never screaming for somebody's job, but, at the end of the day, you can't win like that. You can't win when you're coach doesn't enforce discipline."

If the Dolphins fail to get a win over the Browns, it could potentially end their chances of making the playoffs.
