The Dolphins will look at the personality that Mike McDaniel will be bringing with his out-of-the-box coaching methods. The mere mention of working under 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan is in itself a testament to his abilities as a coach. On the flipside, Kellen Moore was one of the best OCs in all of the NFL last season. The Cowboys‘ offense did rank at the top for points and total offense in the league.
The plan for the Dolphins organization is clear to bring in someone who can play an exciting offensive brand of football. It is a tough choice and one that QB Tua Tagovaiola will be looking closely and analyzing himself.
