MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — New Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel’s race has been one of the most beaten-down topics surrounding his hire.
It’s because it’s not as simple as black and white.
Without knowing any better, one could just assume McDaniel is white, based on his appearance. But McDaniel’s father is Black. As that information came out during the NFL’s coach hiring cycle while McDaniel became a finalist for the Dolphins job, some still didn’t believe it until Andrew Hawkins, McDaniel’s former wide receiver for a year in Cleveland, posted a picture from his parents’ wedding that has since been deleted.
