Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill raised eyebrows on social media with a cryptic post on X.
Following a Week 15 loss to the Houston Texans that moved the Dolphins 6-8, Cheetah seemingly vented his frustrations amid the tough season.
On Wednesday, Hill wrote ‘It’s time for me to go coach,’ without context or explanation.
As a result, fans began speculating if the punctuation-less message was a declaration of his intentions of coaching or a shot at Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel.
‘Like you telling your coach you need to go or are you saying you need to go be a coach,’ one fan wrote.
‘More like it’s time for your coach to go’ another added.
A third exclaimed ‘Yeah go coach tyreke I am sure you do better job than Mcdaniels you get them boys to wins!’
‘He don’t wanna play with tua no more,’ a fourth suggested.
While Hill left fans speculating, he added another tweet hinting at his frustration, writing ‘I might get my first hair this year.’
As the Dolphins are still hanging on to a thread with their playoff hopes, Hill leads the 807 yards and five touchdowns in 67 catches. However, his numbers have declined from the pace he set in 2023.
Back then, Hill led the NFL with a Dolphins franchise record of 1,799 receiving yards. Unfortunately, the 30-year-old only hit the 100-yard mark twice this season.
While misfortunes have hovered over the players, Miami’s subpar campaign has also raised questions about McDaniel’s job security. Following a 30-17 loss to the Packers in November former Dolphins running back Reggie Bush took to social media to call for the coach’s dismissal.
‘Fire the coach he should have never had the opportunity he sucks,’ he wrote in an Instagram comment.
While the likelihood of Hill taking the sideline duties is farfetched, the Dolphins will try to make do with what they have as they look to bounce back against the 6-8 San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
