Mike McDaniel has officially been fired as Miami Dolphins head coach. The Washington Commanders should have been on the phone with his agent within five minutes of hearing the news.
Or he may have had head coach Dan Quinn put in a direct call.
As was well documented before the Commanders played the Dolphins in Spain this season, the two coaches have a very close personal relationship dating back to McDaniel’s days as an offensive assistant under Quinn with the Atlanta Falcons.
McDaniel was quoted at the time as being “forever indebted” to the Commanders’ current head coach for helping him achieve sobriety.
