If he is not fired, I will leave the Miami Dolphis head coach, as he has a misunderstanding with his player.
Regarding his coaching of the Miami Dolphins, Mike McDaniel is not without shortcomings. He is a novice, and some of his playcalling is quite poor. Everything is changeable. He will probably never change the one thing he needs to.
Sportsmen copy their coaches. That cannot be avoided in any manner. Dan Campbell is coaching the Detroit Lions, who play physical, hard football, and now, after many years, they are vying for a spot in the Super Bowl the following week.
The Lions resemble Campbell to a t. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing that the Dolphins are almost exactly like Mike McDaniel.
Mike McDaniel’s greatest shortcoming is precisely what makes him so endearing. Far too kind is Mike McDaniel.
The Miami Dolphins are neither a physical force nor a softball team. Observing the Bills on Sunday night made it quite evident that Miami is far from that physicality. Neither do they resemble the Chiefs physically. Every play those teams hit, they hit hard. Up to and including the whistle.
Nice head coach McDaniel is. Over the course of Hard Knocks, we watched how he never lost his temper. Anything is a “life lesson.” Fumble and say, “That’s o.k., nothing good ever comes from not facing diversity,” or something similar.
Could you picture a player annoying McDaniel to the point that he ends up in his doghouse? McDaniel wants to hang out with the players. That works to some extent, since he wants to be their friend. Though occasionally you have to be emotionally tough and push your team, players like to be treated like grownups.
Speaking of knowledge and using loving words, McDaniel pushes his squad. That could be encouraging the first few times, but “words of wisdom” won’t help you when your line is missing blocks, your quarterback isn’t making the right reads, and the defense is letting Patrick Mahomes run by them while they play two-hand touch.
