This is owner Steve Ross and general manager Chris Grier’s best chance, maybe their last chance, to show they know how to run the Miami Dolphins. That means learning enough from their years of mistakes and recognizing talent in a manner that gives fans some belief — or merely hope — things will get better now.
Mike McDaniel, a sharp offensive mind, was finalizing a deal to be named the next Dolphins coach Sunday night. He comes from a healthy coaching tree of Mike and Kyle Shanahan. He has all the good references and good ideas you’d expect.
You can call McDaniel many things — creative, inventive, innovative — but you can’t call him what is a common term in these times. He was not a hot commodity. The Dolphins were the only team to interview him as a head coach this offseason.
