Mike McDaniel Couldn't Stop Miami Dolphins Players From Showing Up Late To Meetings

[@J420-x6p]

If the players are still showing up late even after getting fined, everybody’s a problem, the GM for signing these types of players who don’t care, the coaches for not getting their messages across to make the players care, and the captains for not setting their teammates straight for not caring. Everything about it is a problem.

[@LOFTarayn]

If your captain is Tyreek.... that explains a bit. Even more this week.

[@j-boy9256]

Deshon Elliott was talking about this going on in year one with Mike McDaniel. This will only change with a new coach.

[@charlesfaure1189]

A team that makes Tyreek Hill a captain shows you what kind of organization it is. You can't make friends with narcissists. Narcissists don't have friends--they're just really good at making gullible people think they're a friend.

[@hoover133]

Mike is not a leader of men. He’s just a guy holding the HC position

[@PL2550Dolphins]

Those players/men he is coaching/leading aren't being "professional". You just dislike McDaniel and want to blame him for millionaire football player not having respect and appreciation for their dream- career.

[@j-boy9256]

​@@PL2550Dolphinscorrect, that is why handing out fines of thousands to millionaires doesn't work. That is where Mike the coach/leader has to bench these players or trade them. Mike is not doing his job with accountability.

[@PL2550Dolphins]

@@j-boy9256 McDaniel is a new/young Head Coach, this is on the job training. But again, you people want to fault McDaniel for professional grown men not being professional. Furthermore, you'd be the same one complaining about how sorry the team is if he got rid of the unprofessional superstars for the appreciative acting professionally average players who gets in on time.

[@j-boy9256]

@@PL2550Dolphins As the coach/leader/boss of a team/company, their job description is to rid the environment of these players/employees. No one is at fault for anyone's actions those are on the person at fault. If Mike allows this culture to set in, then it is his FAULT. Deshon Elliot has mentioned this was occurring when he played here for Mike. This becomes a gross mishandling of one's job description. I would be fine eating half of Hill's cap hit for another team to rid him from our team. Once the players know they aren't allowed to make the decisions for the team, those superstars either fall in line or are replaced with stars who are TEAM PLAYERS.

[@JustinSteereMusic]

This isn't hard to believe. Mcdaniel is soft. It's exactly why Flores and Fangio got the boot. It's because they were too tough on the team and the players didn't like it. The whole team is soft from a culture stand point and Mcdaniel's buddy system is only enabling their bad habits even more. This is what happens when there's no accountability.

[@JianoJoel]

he's a players coach remember? This means he cant be mean or discipline his guys .. therefor there is no leadership in that room.. pure fun and games .. might as well make a video game arcade in that locker room and call it a day

[@jimhall2924]

In the NFL if you win the games you are supposed to win, you’ll make the playoffs every year (see the Steelers this year, Dolphins last year). Now, if you can pull an upset or two, now you’re in business. This is why coaching is so important. If the coaching can put the team in position to win a couple games they are not supposed to win…they can make a playoff run (with at least one home game).

[@Familyfirstcooling]

Would you respect Rick Moranis from Honey i Shrunk the Kids?

[@derrickcrumpton3165]

At this point we should bring Brian Flores back as HC and keep McDaniel as an OC. Let McDaniel hold Tuas hand like he always does and we can get a somebody that the players fears/respects! You need that aspect to a HC, its essential! And i watched BFLO do the EXACT SAME THING w/ a roster that wasnt half as good!!

[@chrisdancy1254]

Tua got what he wanted when Brian Flores got fired and since then, Tua has been injury prone and got overpaid by Miami

[@PL2550Dolphins]

Most of the players, coaches and front office got what they wanted when Flores got fired. Tua got injured, (stupidly in some cases; I might add) putting it all out their on the field. It's funny how Flores wasn't a leader of men based off of how the men wanted nothing to do with him.

[@HawgWyldFishing]

Tua is probably one of maybe 4-5 players on this team who are willing to literally lay everything on the line for the team, and some jackass like you is going to blame him for the fact that it’s a dysfunctional mess around him… Make that make sense.

[@CheeseburgerChester69]

@@HawgWyldFishingthank you! Thank you for saying that. Some of the fans of this team really piss me off. Miami fucked up Tua more than anything. They’ve never had a competent coaching staff or oline during his time there.

[@jordanfarrar4890]

Sounds like Fangios comments were accurate about the team. They are out living the Miami life. Should’ve kept Flores. A hard nose coach. These guys need a tough leader here in Miami. That’s why Shula worked for us down here

[@poppahoggg2587]

FACTS 💯🎯

[@PL2550Dolphins]

What did Flores do here other than have a 24-25 record (w/ no playoff appearances), alienate players, coaches, and management all while trying desperately to be Bill Belichick Jr.- jr. 🙄

[@poppahoggg2587]

@PL2550Dolphins The same thing McDaniel did!! With less, Flores hated all this Soft BS, that they still have, 💯that you like and wanted So STOP crying🚬

[@PL2550Dolphins]

@@poppahoggg2587 Mike McDaniel has a 28-23 record with 2 playoff appearances in the same amount of time as Flores (no playoffs appearances) had. Flores was head of the team for three years and yet the same "softness" that he hated was occurring during his tenure. Flores was such the tough guy but couldn't mold a tough team that could produce. Weak people like you admire people who act and talk tough... Coach McDaniel doesn't have to get your approval in toughness and even with his shortcomings and growing pains he has turned Miami into one of the most deadly offenses since the days of Dan Marino.

Think losing Tua in week two lost him a lot of sleep

[@Bone_youtube_soft]

You see and I see it but the organization doesn't care

[@dolfandon7124]

From Coach Mike McDaniel's perch, I see it as continuing education. A lot of leaders experience this type of situation as they rely on the "do unto others" rule, I did. This is correctable by players missing games / paychecks. Also don't say too much to the press, keep a separation of church and state. "Hey we cleared the air and have a great understanding going forward for better results, next." Use of language doesn't earn cred, addressing issues head on and being genuine does. Challenges bring about solutions, if humans weren't burdened with walking there may have never been a wheel. Next year is waiting for us to come and kick it's ass, kick doubt in the nuts. Game face on and FINS UP

[@ryansproviero]

Like when Hill was running late to a game so he was speeding in a supercar and ran into an idiot cop? Sounds like someone was setting an example that may have poisoned others.

[@j-boy9256]

Tua's concussion against Buffalo was mild. The team/ Mike McDaniel put them on IR. He was at Disney on ice the next night with flashing lights and loud noises. He also continued practice which is more than Jalen Hurts is doing with his concussion protocol. The third of the season he missed was partially due to the problem in the coach and GM.

[@HawgWyldFishing]

Our defense was top 5 last year, before we lost over half the players to injury. What the hell are you talking about? Turned it around? No, he maintained it, even in spite of having to deal with having neither of the two star pass rushers. Outside of that, every defensive player who left in free agency, got replaced with players who were as good or better players.

Let's stop beating around the bush. This is definitely about Tyreek. The man quit on his team and basically flipped the city off. He's had too many off field distractions, and even mentioned that he needs to cut back on the vet days. He got that fat cat syndrome Tobin it's clear as day. He got the bag had one bad season and quit. If he didn't drop all those passes we'd definitely be in the playoffs right now. I say get rid of him and shore up that line. We don't need him.

McDaniel let it all slide for 3 years because he was just happy to be there and nobody else was hiring him to be a head coach. He was one of the guys. Its too late for him to try to tale it all bsck now, regardless how hard he tries to now lay down the law. Huge mistake by Ross, but Ross is just another lunatic that wants to do the waddle once a year in front of his billionaire friends in the owners box. Hes owned the team for 17 years. Hes content with losing.
