Miami Dolphins Coach Mike McDaniel Destroyed LA Chargers By Using His Tricks And Got Caught Live On Camera
Mike McDaniel, the head coach of the Miami Dolphins, was captured in the middle of the LA Chargers game pulling off a brilliant prank.
The 40-year-old is hoping to improve upon their 10-8 2022 NFL season in his second year in Florida.
Even though this is a serious matter, McDaniel always manages to keep things in a lighthearted manner.
You only need to consider his recent presence in the silly tryout ad for season three of the Manningcast on ESPN.
"RUN THE BALL THE NEXT FIVE PLAYS!"

The hosts, Peyton and Eli Manning were directly confronted by McDaniel, who said: “You guys are terrible evaluators and go f**k yourself.”
And during Miami’s Week 1 36-34 victory over the Chargers at SoFi Stadium, this sense of humor was clear.
After LA threw a challenge flag, the 360-degree televisions in the stadium showed McDaniel and Chargers head coach Brandon Staley, as noted by NFL Network insider Daniel Jeremiah during their season opener.

McDaniel looks up at the scoreboard and smiles slightly, obviously aware that he is being watched intently by thousands of spectators.
“We’re going to run it five times, we’re going to run the ball five times,” he then appears to remark as he turns to face the field.
Tua Tagovailoa was given the opportunity to throw the ball by the Dolphins right after this incident, of course.
The former NFL punter turned broadcaster Pat McAfee has also praised McDaniel’s deception.
McAfee said during his Thursday ESPN show: “I like that McDaniel took the opportunity to just put a little thing into Brandon Staley’s head.

“‘Are they going to run the ball? Does he know that he’s talking to the entire stadium right now? Is he working it?'”
Additionally, McAfee commended McDaniel for his self-awareness and comprehension of “everything that is going on.”
He even went as far as to refer to him as “the perfect man to be a head coach in the NFL.”

Fans also enjoyed McDaniel’s antics, with one writing on Twitter: “Mike McDaniel’s personality is so refreshing! You can tell he really enjoys the game and brings great energy as a coach.”
Another person chimed on, calling the situation “Hands down hilarious!”
Another third referred to McDaniel as “the goat.”
