AFC East rivals will put Mike McDaniel’s coaching philosophy to the test

The Miami Dolphins are turning to Mike McDaniel to give a subpar offensive unit a major facelift.

McDaniel was announced as the 14th head coach in franchise history last week and is now tasked with improving an offense that was 25th with 307 yards per game last season.

Innovation is often a word used to describe McDaniel’s coaching philosophy and he is on the record stating the importance of players that can create yards after the catch.

Excluding interim coaches, Dave Wannstedt, from 2000 until 2004, is the last coach in franchise history to leave the team with a winning record (42-31).
