Mike McDaniel is still living out of a suitcase and residing in a hotel (he’s moved to a second one) when he’s not hunkered down at the team’s facility in Miami Gardens.
The Miami Dolphins’ newest head coach is still getting his bearings in South Florida — he’s been to two restaurants and a Miami Heat game — and doesn’t plan to venture out more until he finds his footing with the franchise he’s now responsible for leading.
McDaniel openly admits his knowledge of the AFC East, one of the two divisions he’s never coached in before now, is lacking, and that his understanding of the Dolphins’ illustrious history and knowledge of the team’s 20-year ride on the mediocrity merry-go-around, isn’t strong.
