Despite significant challenges, including the absence of starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and multiple injuries to key defensive players, the Dolphins made it to the playoffs last season for the first time since 2016 under McDaniel's guidance. Rookie QB Skylar Thompson had a standout performance for Miami against the Buffalo Bills, nearly pulling off an upset against Josh Allen's squad.
However, the Dolphins' hard-fought game was overshadowed by an unexpected headline: was Coach McDaniel vaping on the sidelines?
This query was put to rest during a lighthearted exchange on Barstool Sports' 'Pardon My Take.' McDaniel humorously claimed ignorance about vaping, but his words ultimately pointed to an admission. Acknowledging the stir it caused, he implied that he'll probably steer clear of vaping in the future.
The full conversation can be seen in the video below.
Looking forward, the Dolphins are geared up for a promising new season. With Tua on the mend and his jiu-jitsu training likely to help him avoid future injuries, optimism is high. Furthermore, the acquisition of Pro Bowl cornerback Jalen Ramsey solidifies their secondary. And rumors suggest they are eyeing running back Dalvin Cook for a potential signing once the Minnesota Vikings release him.
