Mike McDaniel, the Miami Dolphins coach, combines humor with a shift in discipline during training camp. He opened with personal remarks about his daughter and maintained a light-hearted tone. However, practical changes were introduced, including the presence of referees to enforce rules and a system where players were accountable for pre-snap penalties through self-imposed sprints. This underscores a focus on efficiency and self-correction, contrasting his previous approach, yet retains his unique style of coaching that prioritizes enjoyment alongside discipline.
"It's something we as the players decided. If we have pre-snap penalties, we're going to punish ourselves for that. Things that are in our controllables - that's what we call them..."
"McDaniel... remains the NFL coach who doesn't sound like an NFL coach. He's always joking out there," said cornerback Kader Kohou.
