Mike McDaniel has the Miami Dolphins offense rolling this season. The team leads the NFL with 34.3 points per game right now.
Interestingly enough, McDaniel’s former boss Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco 49ers are second in the NFL with 28.7 points a game. Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert has played for both coaches and was able to outline the biggest differences between the two.
“I would say Kyle Shanahan is a little more serious,” Mostert told Heavy Sports. “He’s more about getting the job done in a different. He wants to handle business strictly solely about football. And Mike McDaniel is more about player base.
“He wants to get feedback from his players. He wants to understand how they feel. He wants to ask questions. He’s knowledgeable, and he truly just is laid back. I joke with them all the time. I’m like, ‘Hey, this is you got the Miami mind now.’ He’s so laid back and chill. It’s pretty cool. It’s definitely an experience, to say at least.”
The fact that both Shanahan and McDaniels are having success shows that there’s no one way that coaches should act. Multiple types of personalities can succeed in the NFL.
Raheem Mostert Shows Love to Mike McDaniel
Mike McDaniel has a bit of an offbeat personality and there were real questions about whether or not he could succeed as an NFL head coach. Raheem Mostert has worked with McDaniel every year since 2017 and he followed the coach to Miami.
Mostert always had a lot of confidence in the coach and is happy that he’s getting his respect now.
“He’s taken a head coaching job very seriously,” Mostert told Heavy Sports. “And he just you just having fun with it. It’s crazy to see the transformation from when he was a run game coordinator to now he’s a head coach in the NFL. And it’s honestly exciting.
“A lot of people doubted him. A lot of people said he couldn’t be a head coach. And if you know who Mike is, man, he’s gonna prove the doubters wrong and prove the naysayers wrong. And he’s similar to me. We both have similar stories. And I think that’s why we came together, and we’re doing well together.”
Mostert is enjoying a career year right now and is sixth in the NFL with 474 rushing yards while averaging an impressive 5.6 yards a carry.
Raheem Mostert Talks Partnership With Charmin
Raheem Mostert bounced around the NFL early in his career as an undrafted free agent. He’s now been able to carve out a very good career. He believes that a lot of that is due to him sticking to a routine.
“I’m a routine-based guy,” Mostert said. “I always have to have a schedule, I always have to make sure that I’m doing everything I possibly can. So that way, I’m healthy and fresh and ready to go on Sunday. And so I like to handle business and what better way than to handle business with good old Charmin toilet paper, and they actually came out with a new brand. It’s Ultra Soft Smooth Tear. It’s a little bit wavy on the edges. It’s not a square normal. And it’s ultra soft, too. So I’m all about the wavy game.”
