Mike McDaniel’s epic 2-word response to why he’s the coach to get the Miami Dolphins to the playoffs
- Updated: February 10, 2022

The Miami Dolphins have come very close to reaching the NFL playoffs in the last two seasons, but both times, they have failed to seal the deal.
Now, with new head coach Mike McDaniel officially slotted into the leadership role, the 38-year-old has issued an epic message on why he’s the man for the job to get the Dolphins back to the playoffs.
“Why not? Mike McDaniel when asked why he’s the coach to end the Dolphins playoff drought.
“What does the last 20 years have to do with this year?” he adds.

To many fans, it really is as simple as that. The Dolphins seem to have a lot of the right pieces in place to advance to the playoffs.
The team has a talented defense that knows how to create turnovers and get to the quarterback. Meanwhile, Miami’s offense is led by a young and talented passer in Tua Tagovailoa, and he showed some impressive signs of improvement late in the 2021 season.
Perhaps most importantly, it seems like McDaniel is confident that he can get the best out of Tagovailoa once they start working together on the field. He has offered a ton of praise for the young quarterback ever since he officially became the new head coach of the Dolphins.
With the 2022 NFL Draft and free-agency period right around the corner, McDaniel and Miami’s front office will have to put in some work to make sure that they surround Tagovailoa with the talent he needs to be successful. If they accomplish that goal, there is no reason why the Dolphins can’t compete for a playoff spot in the 2022 NFL season.
