The young phenom head coach has his Dolphins playing excellent football so far this season, and McDaniel is doing it in his own way.
While McDaniel’s coaching style is certainly unique, his fashion style is also something that has not since been seen at the position either. The Dolphins’ head coach is the young fresh age of 40 and is using every bit of his platform to be unapologetically him.
Whether that is play-calling ability, his version of being a player-friendly coach, or his extensive shoe collection that he likes to show off on game day, his coaching résumé is vast.
