MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Here’s hoping this grand experiment of Mike McDaniel works, and not just to show there’s another way of leading a football team besides the drill-sergeant dinosaur from an antiquated time before players painted fingernails and got pedicures.
It’s also because football sounds fun with the new Miami Dolphins coach. That’s a word you rarely hear around football. Fun. And it’s said with the understanding no one knows if McDaniel can be a successful head coach.
We don’t know whether he can call plays, much less command a room, corral a team that’s lost three straight games or handle the, “five things that come across your desk every day that have nothing to do with football,’’ as Nick Saban put one of his roles.
