Dan Patrick: “Mike McDaniel, head coach of the Dolphins, and former star receiver with Yale... Although, I’m looking at the stats and I can’t find any stats from when you were a wide receiver at Yale!”
Mike McDaniel: “Well, you didn’t look up the blocking statistics. ‘Friendships Made’, I led the team in that!”
DP: “If you were to look at the player comp, like a wide receiver in the NFL that best resembles your wide receiver skills when you were at Yale and plays the way you played?”
McDaniel: “No one’s ever asked me that and I know exactly the answer... The antithesis of every receiver that is in a receiving corps of mine. I would body catch and get no YAC [yards after catch], and a lot of the things that I was incapable of doing drove my scouting as I became a professional coach. So quite literally; if they’re on our team, they don’t share commonalities with how I play. I knew which players I didn’t want, which was great.”
Watch the comical interview charismatic Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel had with Dan Patrick on Tuesday, as the eccentric 41-year-old joked with Dan about his playing career at Yale, his NFL ‘comp’ at wide receiver, his childhood idol, and what bizarre career path he would have pursued if he hadn’t gotten into coaching.
McDaniel also talked about the ‘cheat motion’ his offense is controversially utilizing, his experience coaching alongside Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay, and Matt LeFleur, Tyreek Hill’s market value, and the Dolphins expectations towards winning a Super Bowl.
