Mike McDaniel for OC?

I know he's already been linked to a few other teams' HC openings, but I can't for the life of me understand why. I don't think he's been remotely good in Miami.

I thought he did good up to the point when they gave Tua that deal in 2024. That was around when they let the D fall apart while only focusing on the O.

His head did get too big IMO from his successes. 

As an OC? Hell yeah.

Also put me in the camp that thinks McDaniel doesn't get a head coaching gig this year.  The optics around the Dolphins collapse are very bad.  It made him seem unqualified or at least not ready to be a HC by many teams.

He shouldn't. He obviously needs a reset but NFL teams do NFL things.

The tape got out on his boy genius video game offense and he doesn't have the interpersonal skills to run a locker room of 53 professional football players.

Would love to have him as OC though lol.

I'm not going to say never. Reid couldn't overcome DC Johnson retiring but he fixed a lot of his issues when he went to KC and had great success there after Philly. People can grow but they also have to be hungry enough to address their own issues. 

We will see how big his head and ego are. He could be a stud OC and just pull a Kiffin the rest of his career. Other than pay, I would choose that path too. Owners suck all the best parts of the game away and could only imagine having to report to them dirrectly. Ross is a known assbag too.

I agree.  I'm not saying he'll never be successful.  But most of those redemption stories involve a stint as a coordinator.

I'd like him as an OC, he's a bright offensive mind. But as an overall HC I don't think he's any better right now with 4 years experience than Canales is with 2 years. Sure, look at raw records if you want. But Canales inherited the biggest disaster team in the league while McDaniel inherited a very solid team that was coming off 10 and 9 win seasons, and he proceeded to do absolutely nothing with them aside from like a month and a half stretch one year where Tua was playing lights out.

I don't think either are very good HCs. One is a very good OC. 

McD has potential but his ego showed up hard with a tad of success, Flores D and his O was good for 2 years. I don't see any real potential from Canales. Even with a great QB he would still be the weak link from a lack of talent. McD does have tallent but he didn't put the work in and it showed. Ego, other personality failures, complacency? IDK but there is talent there. Not sure he will every really tap into it either.

    • First, apologies @MHS831, I know you began this about tackles, and it was good. But... Frank, your post is just another Bryce sucks post. You obviously believe, like your buddy, that if we draft a WR it's all about evaluating Bryce Young or coddling Bryce Young. In short, it would be about improving the damned team. If anything, if Bryce is as destined to fail (or is already a failure right now... irredeemable), then another playmaker at WR would just seal the envelope and send him on his way. In my world, that's a good thing.  If some of you think that Bryce is a lame duck, then why wouldn't you want to set the offense up for the next QB to come in and be dropped into the offense to have success? Or, maybe you think it's all a moot point anyway because Tepper sucks, Dan Morgan sucks, Canales sucks, Ejiro sucks, Brandt Tilis sucks---everybidy sucks! If that's the case, then why does anyone care who or what we draft? Obviously some of you have all the answers and can run a gotdamn franchise better than the FO does now.
    • Yeah man, idk. I’m not super big on looking at the position group overall and damning the group. I’ll do the same with less words for WR. I think Proctor is the ultimate fit because he could be your future left or right tackle or left or right guard. Guys a starter, how much Zavala, Christensen, Curhan, and Corbett did we see last year again? Mauigoa will not be there when we pick, but you take him for the same reason you take Proctor minus maybe the LT. Freeling *could* be an upgrade at LT for the future. You don’t take Miller or Iheanahor because the position flexibility isn’t there, likely RT only guys. Those Utah guys are light in the ass, don’t want. Now I do WR. All extremely unproductive when compared to previous Round 1 WR. Tate- Gone Lemon- Complete player, not a burner, would take at 19 Tyson- Made of glass, Colorado washout  Cooper- Not the best hands. Like 300 of his yards were lucky ass stumble blooper looking poo. Bernard gives you similar but better in the 2nd. KC- Slaps then catches the ball. Lightning fast for about 20 yards. Good return man. poo QBs probably more to unlock. Would take at 19 if Proctor, Freeling, Lemon were gone. Washington guy- Lumbers, the smoothness Canales hyped for TMac, not there with him. We need a different style player.    
    • Logically yes. Boston has the right balance though. Jalen Brown is #2 in the paint and their best shooters are 17th and 19th. While our best shooters are #1 and #2 and we have one player in the top 50 for points in the paint. And my understanding looking at the information I just referenced is we were basically at the exact same paint percentage last year in Charles Lee's offense. At the end of the day we either want to compete for a playoff series winner and the finals or we just want to stumble our way to another play in. We've already done that with James Borrego.
