McDaniel is a smart dude, he is a Yale grad and was good as a coord but he certainly isn't cutting it as an HC

Some guys are just not leaders. I have worked with some smart engineers who can run projects or a portion of a project, but then when they become managers of people and or large programs, they are awful at it, a fish out of water. Probably the same thing with coaching.

100% agree, I have seen the same, higher ups shoe horn a highly educated intellegent person into a leadership/management role and it hurts both the promoted person and the team.
Leadership is it's own quality and skill set.

Yep. Seen it many times. It’s got to be similar in most occupations.
 
I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Mike McDaniel is fired soon
I'm shocked he wasn't fired during the game today. He's toast. Carroll should head back to retirement. Why TF did he want to come back to a complete rebuild without the QB in hand already?
 
Somewhere along the line he was labeled an offensive genius and everyone was clamoring for the next young genius coach. What tree is he from again?

Pretty sure…
 
Miami had made 1 playoff appearance in 14 years before McDaniel became coach. He made playoffs in his first 2 seasons and barely missed out last year (mostly due to them having no backup qb when Tua was out)
Id gladly take him as an assistant to stick it to the 9ers if he gets axed

As much as I think McD is a great coord. There isn’t room for anymore Capris wearing coaches here in LA. Besides he will be rejoined with Shanny and then the 9ers will be a bigger pain in the ass again

Yep. When you're all laid back and the friend type coach as a genius OC you can get away with it as long as the offense is producing. But running the entire org, setting the tone with that laid back bullshit just creates a lazy workplace. Can't be the buddy type leader past a certain responsibility level.

Sure would like to see him not end up back in SF though. Rams should hire him as waterboy.
