When the Miami Dolphins hired Mike McDaniel Sunday night to be the next head coach of their organization, there was a sense of excitement around the team and fanbase that was palpable.
There have been small snippets of McDaniel’s personality that have gone viral over the last couple of weeks, but what makes him an interesting hire is the admiration shown for his intelligence and involvement in offenses by former players and colleagues.
On Monday, Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay took part in the NFL’s “Opening Night” event where players from the Super Bowl teams meet the media. McVay, who worked with McDaniel for three seasons in Washington, was asked about the new head coach in Miami, and he spent some time heaping praise on him.
