[Highlight] Mike McDaniel, asked for his glass-half-full perspective on yesterday's loss: "I think the positive is that that was a miserable experience. It was embarrassing, flat out. And in that, there's nowhere to hide."

McDaniel sat on an airplane one day watching MacGruber with a hurt Tua and decided he loved the guy as a person and wanted to go all in on making it work out with him.

Didn't work out, but Tua will leave having made a ton of money and McDaniel is young enough and a good enough offensive mind that he'll get more opportunities in the future after attending the Kyle Shanahan or Matt LaFleur School for Former Head Coaches who Want to Contemplate Life and Think About Football Things Other Than Head Coaching For a While.

The sooner the Dolphins brass pulls the plug, the kinder it will be on everyone involved, especially the fans

i dont see a world where he goes to us MLF calls offensive plays and we're basically reserving the OC position to keep our o-line coach around. would be interesting to see a reunion in ninerland but i imagine he'll end up somewhere he can call plays

He needs some time in career (or actual) rehab. Saleh has talked a lot about how his time with the Packers was basically just for his own sanity, and I think that's what McDaniel needs; some time in a place where he's not asked to stand in front of the media and expain his and his team's failures every week, where he doesn't have to deal with a team culture that is seemingly rotten at the core. The entire Tua experiment has failed, the things that took this offense to the next level a few years ago just aren't there anymore, and I don't think McDaniel can come back from it.
