Kyle Shanahan’s longtime right-hand man brings the Dolphins to town with more than a win on the line.
Shanahan has many admirable traits as a head coach, but his best skill is his ability to pick assistant coaches.
The coaching tree is impressive and rapidly expanding. Sean McVay, Matt LaFleur, and Robert Saleh were all assistants to Shanahan and are now NFL head coaches. At least one more — perhaps two — will ascend into those roles this offseason. Right now, more than a quarter of the NFL’s head coaches come from the Shanahan Clan.
There was one assistant coach Shanahan trusted more than the rest, though: Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel.This is Shanahan’s first year in the Bay without McDaniel. Both parties are doing fine. They’re head coaches of teams destined for the playoffs and could end Sunday in first place in their respective divisions. McDaniel might be the NFL’s Coach of the Year for what he’s done with the Dolphins.
But it’s fair to wonder how much has been lost now that the dynamic duo is no more. A bit of dependency had to build up between the two over all those years, right? Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel speaks to the media before a joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at an NFL football training camp practice Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2022, in Tampa, Fla.
