'One of the best coaches I've ever been around'

CBS Sports Article

Again, these references from those who have been coached by McDaniel are really squashing the concerns I had about hiring yet another "young prodigy". We knew about the x and o capability, but more and more I'm getting the impression our new HC is an excellent leader of men as well. Only thing I still have reservations about are in game management. Clock, challenges, adjustments, etc.... But something tells me he can excel there as well, hearing him discuss the use of analytics needing to be combined with context and various other factors that vary game to game, quarter to quarter, or drive to drive even.

Even as intelligent as he is, as a first time head coach he will likely have to get used to managing a game as the head coach. So I expect him to make some errors concerning clock management, challenges and a few more of the things a first time head coach has to adjust to.

I think he will quickly learn to be a game manager and I expect him to become more efficient in these areas as the season goes along next year.
 
@1972forever I'm hoping he uses his assistants wisely, and at least initially takes their leads on those quick decision items - of course can override if confident of an opposing view point. I'll worry if all his assistants end up being young bucks, but he is surely smart enough to surround himself with wisdom and intelligence.

That's when you need Fangio. Someone with some experience that can toss out a thought from time to time. It'll also give McCoaching enough freedom to really get deep into the offense.
 
Wondering if Cordarelle Patterson will be our new Deebo. Very real chance if we hire Charles London as our OC.

Well, as far as Clock & game management, and challenges...That's why he needs in the beginning to surround himself with at least a few experienced coaches that can help him with what he's not sure of.

I think maybe the "young" thing is being exaggerated. Age does not equate to intelligence, and while experience is important, sometimes older ppl get too set in their ways for their own good.

If a man has 15+ years experience around the game at the highest level, he has paid his dues. That doesn't mean he can't fail of course.

In the interview with Travis, he pointed out how his experiences in the playoffs had made him more comfortable overall. He has certainly been involved in a lot playoff games, against top competition.

Poor choice of words on my part with "young bucks". "Inexperienced" would be more accurate as far as the assistants, and hoping they can help with some of the details of HC duties. But after the presser today, I can agree with the point you make about his football experience. I'm convinced when he talks about shadowing this former head coaches and such.

Just posted this in another thread.....

"Not counting his one year as an intern with the Denver Broncos in 2005, McDaniel spent 14 years as an NFL assistant before joining the Dolphins, and that ranks as the second-highest total prior to becoming Miami head coach behind only the 18 years of experience that George Wilson brought to the job when he became the franchise's first head coach in 1966."
 
The Drive Time episode that was before his interview ep TW goes over McDanielS resume - he helped get some incredible numbers and the best seasons out of nearly everyone he coached!

So did Philbin and Gase, including HoF QBs. Not a metric for me, personally. Still, I'm behind McD 100%.

It's not a metric, but what was said about them was from far fewer people and far less emphatic.

These guys are all super stoked their man became a HC.
