Dolphins' Mike McDaniel Says He Could Go 4 Days Without Showering as Assistant Coach

With bigger responsibilities comes better hygiene, at least for Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel.

McDaniel explained the change in his weekly schedule compared to last year:

The 39-year-old spent last season as offensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers after serving as the run game coordinator for the previous four seasons. It's clear his focus was completely on the team—helping the offense rank seventh in total yards in 2021—although it came at an expense.

Now that he's a head coach and spending more time in the public eye with weekly press conferences and more, he has to present himself better than a college kid cramming for a final.

McDaniel's family and friends are likely also happy with the new standard.
