Rich Eisen: Mike McDaniel Nearly Had Everyone In Tears Talking About Tua | The Rich Eisen Show

[@jucerz]

Never have I felt someone deserved a hire after the fact than Mike McDaniel. He's absolutely amazing as a coach and person

[@finsanity3058]

As a person? Sure, great guy. As I assume the other 12 coaches after Shula were mostly great people. Coaching? Let McDaniel win one single playoff game at least before you crown the guy. It never ceases to amaze me how dumb fellow Fin Fans are. Tua is the #1 QB to these retards too. reality: Tua is near the bottom of top 12 in Talent of the current starting QBs going based on pure visible talent. Patrck Mahomes Justin Herbert (the pick that was staring us in the face) Lamar Jackson Brock Purdy Jalen Hurts Joe Burrow Jason Allen Please tell me with a straight face Tua is the same caliber? Then there are second tier QBs where Tua belongs Kirk Cousins Dak Prescott Trevor Lawrence Jordan Love Tua Tagovailoa The only difference between the 2nd tier QBs and Tua (besides all of them having better arm strength) is that the Dolphins are hyper infused with offensive weapons. I will bet my house that Tua will drop from the Top 3 top the middle of the pack without Tyreek Waddle and Mostert, Achane, Wilson jr.

[@sharonreel8678]

I love Mike McDaniel more and more every time I hear things like this about him. He is a great human being.

“‘Many coaches feel entitled to the power they have.” - Mike McDaniels. As a raiders fan, Josh McDonalds was the first coach that came into mind. I wish the Raiders had a coach like Mike Mcdaniels!!! Dolphins fans y’all got a winner at head coach! Let’s Go Raiders!!! 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

[@mandarinandthetenrings2201]

Hey, Mike McDaniel is just the alternate version of Josh from another branch in time and space. 😊 We live in Multiverse after all.

[@BorderCzar_Kamala]

I'm a Dolphins fan and my wife a Raiders fan. So wonderful to have a true n upstanding man for a coach in Mike. It feels good to root for the men in the Dolphins locker room cause theyre being lead correctly, both in football and life, from the top down. I'll root for the Raiders anytime it doesn't negatively effect my Dolphins, but Josh made Raider football almost unbearable to watch. You've gotta be ecstatic he's gone, she is! At least Antonio has valuable knowledge of what it's like to leave your heart on the field. Let's hope for the Raiders sake that he is the next true leader of men.

[@theshow1269]

I live in NorCal…. I have family and friends who are die hard Raiders fans… The league is better when The Raiders are a force and I get to love to hate them! The Silver and Black deserves better! Good Luck!

[@justinharper6909]

There is no "s" in Mike McDaniel.

[@dolphinsfan3245]

Oh believe me it's not lost on me about Mike McDaniel, I love our coach. FINSUP 🐬

[@DoggosintheHouse]

I'm in awe of this. THIS is what true leadership looks like. The man Rich describes truly CARES about the men he leads... he expresses faith and confidence in their abilities.... he trusts them to do what needs to be done.... he supports them when they need support and clearly states what he needs from them. Corporate and sports culture in North America is all about hyper-manliness, authoritarian, ego-maniacal bullshit that RARELY works in bringing out the best in your people. What McDaniel is doing might sound like left-wing touchy feely crap to some people, but it is SUPER effective. Give people hope... give people confidence... show people trust and respect and support... and if they feel that to be sincere, they would do ANYTHING for you.

[@markcook3570]

As somebody who’s been a fan of the dolphins for well over 40 years and lived in North Miami Beach for over 30 where the orange bowl was part of my upbringing, to hear this kind of story coming from somebody credible like Rich Eisen about the team that’s been part of my life is a beautiful thing to hear. In this day and age where there’s so much bad news on TV every where you turn to think that this quality human being is leading my team not only in innovation but a leader in an awkward but such an effective way and doing so I hope everybody would watch this and take it in this is food for your soul… Peace out

[@sirmingusdewiv8325]

I've been a Phins fan since 1982. It's refreshing to know they've got a chance every week. I live in Western Massachusetts. So you can imagine how 2001 til 2020 were up here. 😢

[@FlaGiant]

I've been a fan of the dolphins since I started watching football in HS because of Ricky. I've never known success until these last 2 years 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@amilcampbell4545]

I started 83 this interview is absolutely amazing we suffered through so much being dolphins fans we absolutely deserve this time I feel like we have one of the best teams ever!! This is for Zach, Jason Taylor , Madison ,Surtain , Wake , Chris chambers, Lamar miller , Fasano, Bowens, all the fins that faught hard but didn’t have a chance cuz something was always missing good defense no offense good offense no defense Always wished Dan had a defense he have a few rings but now I believe we believe we CAN and WILL Win it All love u guys for what we all went through and thanks to TUA tyreek and the crew to give us something to look forward too!! FINS UP##

[@markcook3570]

@@amilcampbell4545 Nice article, I wholeheartedly agree…

[@bradyh26]

that segment that mcdaniel did a couple weeks ago about the correlation between being a father and a coach he said “to not exist for yourself is a beautiful thing” ❤️

[@toddaop9103]

Awesome segment. This long time Fin fan is starting to get pumped up in spite of the decades of PTSD the franchise has given me.

[@BorderCzar_Kamala]

Phinfan since '83 and I 💯 feel your PTSD pain, lol, but I also currently feel the hope you have too! Mike makes me proud to be a Dolphins fan again. Not just because of any winning, but it's very settling to root for good people, upright men. He leads all other men in not only football, but LIFE! In the bigger scheme of things this man is leading men to a better life after football. Who wouldn't run through a wall for this guy? He will get true men's ultimate efforts, what else could you ask for? This team and organization is becoming something special. It just feels different this time. But win or lose, I'm actually proud to root for Mike n his Mighty Men!

[@jonathandicrescenzo4656]

This dude slowly becoming my favourite coach in the NFL.

[@jacobandrewuthe9884]

You know he gets 100% out of his players every week. You can see how happy the locker room is compared to Flores's iron fist.

[@mlando73]

If he's not on the Jets, than he's an a hole

[@keeganstacey6313]

This dude is QUICKLY becoming my favourite coach in the NFL.

[@Kegman24]

by far dude, it aint even close lol

[@bigandyt-man3010]

Already loved Mike McDaniel, but this made me love him more. That is one special coach, special guy, and he inspires me. ❤

[@SoldByEzio]

As a 49er fan. I am rooting for all three of our former coordinators who are now HC’s. This guy is great.

[@stevengomez1284]

Yup. Same.

[@BeatsAndMeats]

Same same

[@mattwa33186]

Flores used to talk about leading by serving. This guy lives it. And what he said about why they traveled early, what he said earlier about the importance of any individual game, the way he's managing injuries has me convinced that he's doing everything possible to win the 2023 NFL season. Oddly, most coaches don't seem to think like that.

[@shoh347]

Journalism at its finest Rich, take a bow. You always had the juice on questions to ask. Thanks for bringing it Tua us! Go Phins!

[@iansnyder274]

Best segment i have ever heard from you Rich...take a bow🙏. Life is always fundamentally about navigating relationships with ourselves and others. Coach Mike is a breath of fresh air!

[@PBHolbert]

We have Ted Lasso as our coach who is also a master at Xs and Os. What a time to be a Dolphins fan! 🐬

[@wesselby5585]

It’s like a movie, man. It’s so cliche and right out of a 90s sports drama and I’m hooked. Just imagine the narrative of Tua being put down by the country and all it took was one person to believe in him again - from being told he should’ve been replaced to holding the Lombardi. Mike McDaniel is IT, my friends.

[@hurricanefan191]

I turn 34 tomorrow, but i do believe the kids have turned it into "he is him" lol jk jk. But seriously, as a lifelong saints fan, Mike is who i, and i think a lotta saints fans, thought Sean Payton was. Turns out hes the opposite of Mike as we see up there at Mile High. Forcing players to a play a system instead of using the best of what you have in those players abilities. Dolphins had it so bad for so long, I'm happy for them 🤝 Geaux Saints

[@cfodge69]

Leadership is earned. Mike McDaniels does it every day. Thank you for sharing this.

Thats our coach! Its been years (Since Shula) that we’ve had a good coach, and man am i the happiest man because of it! Mr. Ross, lock this dude into a 10 year contract!

[@dougj3870]

My hope for Olovsky is he takes this platform to educate the indicters on why Tua is an elite QB, the traits, the specific unique skillset, the nuances, the fakes, the peripheral measurements of his players speed relative to the field in his game, the manipulation of defenders with eyes, hips, shoulders and head, the footwork, and the icing of the cake, the overall SPEED for which the samoan sniper operates his position and orchestrates this offense. Thats what makes this QB special, and that word is not being used in the national media when it comes to Tua, only a ''special'' QB who does all these things, as fast as Tua can.

[@tonyzacarias3948]

I would LOVE for the Dolphins to hire that guy....no disrespect intended to Darrell Bevell, but I think Olovsky would make one hell of a QB coach..

[@kang7664]

Orlovsky sucks lol

[@KingCobra3849]

We finally have a true and worthy successor to Don Shula, and likewise in Tua, a successor to Marino.

I appreciate Rich letting us know about this incredible man, Mike McDaniel. My man-crush on him continues to grow! What an amazing story.

[@taragreen5952]

As someone as a only child and watches all these sports analysts shows on TY, I'm not an emotional person but this is the first, I have teared up. I never got that, as a only child myself, just criticism but I love Mike McDaniel and as a fan of 32 years of the dolphins, I really hope he has an amazing career, even more so because I know how back story which also resonates with me. He deserves it all. Rich eisen is the first to make me emotional 😂😂😂😂🐬⬆️ damnit!!😂😂😂

[@karenhardie1132]

Mike is a great coach. He is positive. Players and coaches love him. He has helped Tua get better. SF misses him.

So glad he’s our coach. Thankful and blessed.

[@aaronberg5638]

I've said this before and I will so again. I am so blessed as a lifelong Dolphins fan to have Mike McDaniel as our head coach. Without question he is the greatest Coach the Dolphins have had since Don Shula.

[@Mitch_Feral]

Rich, you keep saying 'self-awareness for others', but I think 'empathy' is a better word to catch what McDaniel has, and is urging his players to practice. Doing one's best to imagine what other people see, what they experience, what they need - how a situation would make you feel in their place, and then operating from that place, while also communicating with that person to see if you're *right*. All season, I've been thinking about how much nicer it must be to play for the Dolphins, right now, than almost any team in the league - on just a get up and go to practice vibe, on the kind of community they are all in. It's impressive stuff, I hope we see more of it throughout the league.

[@dougj3870]

Thanks Rich, what you just did is true Journalism, not trying to be an evaluator of talent like some of the popular national pundits, but a true Journalist..

[@ChuckH2901]

Absolute GOLD...!!! That was really unexpected, having a coach speak from the Heart with the press about coaching style, and bringing in the Real Untouchables that bring out the best from his players. That was truly inspirational!! ❤

this has been a long time coming, not just for the dolphins, but for all sport. I am lucky to have been a fan of a couple of teams where this has happened a few times in my life span. I am also a Montreal Canadiens fan. They are in the beginning stages of what I believe could win them championships with ethical coaching and development. They have always cared deeply for their players and the organization, they set the benchmark for the NHL. Awesome video, very emotional and honest. Thank you.

[@stew6662]

The problem with both the Buffalo and Philadelphia games was that they were both on the road and were missing key players on the offensive line. Eikenberg was playing his first game ever as a center and on top of that Miami requires the center position to call out the line plays. If Miami can keep their OL healthy. They will go a long, long way. Currently, it’s been a struggle to do.

[@jihyotwice3159]

This story rings true in Europe where they where they play football (soccer in the US) and the coaches brings and installs their own concept. The coach and the players both have egos, often clash but all feel pressure to succeed. So coaches often find other players and throw away players, its an endless cycle. Rarely does a player develop because coaches buy made players with specific traits and play them.

[@WumpusAmungus]

As a lifelong Dolphins fan in his 50s, this is the most excited I’ve been since #13 retired. Hearing commentators like Rich Eisen, who I have a huge amount of respect and admiration for, talk about McDaniel this way gives me that sense of “Everything is going to be ok. We’re in good hands now.”

I'm glad Mike McDaniel recognized and sees all that about tua? Even his elite coach Trent Dilfer said the same thing about tua About the Elite 11. One thing I love about tua his not afraid to throws tight windows between the two defenders .. I'm trying to tell y'all that tua is a ball placements, he can throws, he can scramble using his legs, that's why Tyreek Hill and McDaniel said tua balls are catchable? Alot of people doesn't know all this things about tua? And the best of tua is revealing to the world that he is the best QB in the NFL? Imagine if tua and McDaniel win a Superbowl? Is going to be a very special and is going to be a lot of stories about these team? Especially Uno?

[@troyo.8294]

This may seem odd. I know they’re from different backgrounds. But his upbringing, only child, tough upbringing/split parents, dedication to his craft, to do everything you can to get into the field, being way ahead of the competition. And to be successful and universally accepted is very similar to Steven Spielberg.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Coach Mike also had another situation growing up....he is of mixed race, and he sometimes felt like he wasn't part of either race. He's said before he was bullied by some kids....white & black ones, that think he wasn't "one of them".....that's tough to grow up around.
