When questioned about Tua Tagovailoa, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel loses his cool.
Reporters should refrain from inquiring about quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s success playing with elite weapons like wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle in the future. Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is likely to respond that Tagovailoa is simply an outcome of McDaniel’s system.
When asked if any quarterback could succeed in Miami’s offense on Wednesday, McDaniel responded, “I’m about to push this podium over,” according to the Dolphins’ website and Bryan DeArdo of CBS Sports.
“Who the F cares,” is my response to that, as it is a team.
We are cooperating, and I am aware of this.
I’ve been coaching for a while, and I’ve never seen anyone perform like our guys do.
To their credit, skill, and dedication to their craft.
” .
The Dolphins’ 5-1 start this fall was aided by Tagovailoa.
According to ESPN statistics, he finished Week 6 tied with Kirk Cousins of the Minnesota Vikings for the most passing touchdowns (14), with 1,876 passing yards, an average of 9 point 5 yards per attempt, and a passer rating of 114 point 1.

Tagovailoa was the betting favorite to win the regular-season Most Valuable Player award at +350 odds as of late Wednesday afternoon, according to OddsChecker.

McDaniels responded in a long, passionate sentence, “We’re all tied together.”.
We are on a journey together, dot. But I can assure you that our players run many plays with which I am familiar, and they do so because of their extraordinary talent and dedication.

As their next opponent is the 5-1 Philadelphia Eagles this coming Sunday night, McDaniel and his Dolphins have bigger concerns.
On Wednesday afternoon, OddsChecker had the Eagles as 2.5-point favorites for that game, but McDaniel appeared to be upset about something else during his news conference.

He continued, “Don’t try me on other players.”.
I’m not attempting to demonstrate that.

Also on Wednesday, OddsChecker listed McDaniel as the second favorite to win the NFL Coach of the Year Award at +300 odds, trailing only Dan Campbell of the Detroit Lions (+250).
