“I Love Mike McDaniel”: 40-Year-Old Unorthodox Head Coach Rewrites the Fortunes of Dolphins in Just Five Weeks

The Miami Dolphins are off to a sensational start in the 2023 NFL season, thanks to their new head coach Mike McDaniel. The former 49ers offensive coordinator has transformed the Dolphins into an offensive powerhouse and a serious contender in the AFC. And now one broadcaster has laid out his feelings in the open.

McDaniel’s stock has always been on the rise ever since he started his coaching career. In 2005, with the Denver Broncos, he learned his chops under HC Mike Shanahan. His crowning moment to date was when he helped the 49ers reach Super Bowl LIV in 2020. The team had one of the best rushing attacks in the league. Now as the supremo at the Dolphins, he’s breaking records and winning hearts.

Mike McDaniel is loved and respected

“I love Mike McDaniel I like; I love everything about him I love. I love the way he coaches. I love his demeanor. I just love it all.” These were the words coming out of revered NFL broadcaster Rich Eisen’s mouth. Hosts and co-hosts were discussing his comedic mannerisms with the media. It truly is a thing of beauty, the way he shines at the podium.

McDaniel is a charismatic and energetic leader. The 40-year-old inspires confidence and enthusiasm in his players and staff. He is not afraid to show his emotions on the sideline or in press conferences, where he often cracks jokes and displays his wit. He possesses a unique personality that blends geekiness and coolness, making him relatable and likable to fans and the media alike.

A disciple of the Shanahan system, which is based on zone-blocking schemes, play-action passes, and creative formations, the Dolphins HC is known for his innovative and adaptable play-calling. He exploits the strengths of his players and the weaknesses of his opponents. He is displaying his talent in his second season with Miami and will need to maintain his performance against the Carolina Panthers next week.

Dolphins are swimming too fast to be bitten

In just five weeks, McDaniel has turned the Dolphins into one of the most exciting and dominant teams in the NFL. The Dolphins are currently 4-1 and lead the AFC East division. They have scored 174 points, which are the most in franchise history through five games.

The Panthers are 0-5. They have struggled on both sides of the ball under first-year HC Matt Rhule. But RB Christian McCaffrey who has missed most games this season because of injury, is expected to be in for the battle at Hard Rock Stadium.

The Dolphins are looking to extend their winning streak to five games and maintain their lead in the AFC East division. The Panthers are looking to avoid their sixth straight loss and get their first win of the season. It will be a clash of two teams with contrasting fortunes and styles on Monday night.
