Talking about it, the 28-year-old was blatantly honest in his answer. “McDaniel’s gonna need a wheelbarrow for his nuts to carry them around.” Yes, you heard it right! That’s exactly what he said. Hill was pointing to the unusual strategies of his new head coach. Interestingly, the coach won his first battle against an experienced campaigner, Bill Belichick, the man who trains Patriots.
What is the plan that impressed Tyreek Hill?
In the final drive of the first half, Dolphins faced a fourth-and-7 situation at New England’s 42-yard line. In such a scenario, most teams go for punting the ball. However. McDaniel chose the other way around. He allowed QB Tua Tagovailoa to go for it. Meanwhile, Tagovailoa found second-year wideout Jaylen Waddle and passed the ball. The latter split the defenders and scored for the winners.
In normal circumstances, such decisions call for split reactions, considering the risk involved. However, the coach opted to give it a try as they were leading and there was nothing to lose. It did strike a chord with the players.

“It was a very, very cool moment, against my wishes. They just showered me in Gatorade and made it about me, which I know for a fact it’s not. But the team celebrated together, and just being happy for the direction that we’re going in,” says the coach.
