- 865 is the number of days Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel was out of the league after being fired by the Houston Texans. He uses it as motivation and a reminder of how the alcohol problem he overcame almost cost him his dream.

Had no idea of his alcoholism and overcoming so much. Prayers for continued sobriety Coach
Addiction opens up the brain. Look at all the musicians who were great and were addicts
same. what a powerful message!
@@justinkanicki2761that’s retarded
@@justinkanicki2761because musicians are the peak of mental ability 😂
@loganmattoon5284 yeah fr dumb comparison 😂
Coach McDaniel has been and will continue to be the individual that launched Tua’s career and this organization to new heights
Take the organization to new heights? They are the only organization to have an undefeated season lol
Amazing what he’s done with Tua just by being a true supporter
Such a supporter he kept playing him with a concussion and risked his career and his health
@@troyyoro2672bro that was decades ago lmfao. Some people weren't around when that happened

This video has helped me a lot. I just got back from my very first AA meeting. Mike McDaniel has inspired me to get sober and to be the person I know I can be. thank you coach. Love you bro.
One day at a time and be present. Don't worry about what you can't control. How other people live their life, good or bad, that's their journey. Only you can take that first step and subsequent steps. However, it does take that first step. Keep it steady. Keep moving forward. Stack your days and your wins, even if it's just a small win by saying no, because a win is still a win.
Excellent - kudos to you and keep at it - one day at a time, one hour at a time, one moment at a time. And you don’t have to do it “well” or “get it right” - just keep grinding. Wishing you all the best.
I love this guy. He just has it.
Yes I totally agree with you.
He does!!!!! I miss him being in SF!
Alot of addicts do
@@justinkanicki2761😂Nbs
@@justinkanicki2761fucked up thing to say don’t you think? Have some empathy you’re clearly lacking in that department
Man no one knows about anyone's private life all I knew was he did a great thing coaching the 49ers offense and improved over time I pray he continues to better himself and his family and true friends as a 49ers fan I hated to see him go but am super happy for him being named coach of a franchise like Miami prayers for you and the family
Mike McDaniel saved Tua. One more year with Brian Flores would of completely shattered his confidence.
How could you not love this video? I hope Mike has a great career as a HC.
Been going through some difficult times at work lately. The last bit really hit differently. I MAY NOT BE ELITE, BUT WHILE I’M AT IT, I’M GOING TO DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO BE ELITE💪💪💪
Mike is hilarious and a great coach. SF misses him and wishes him lots of success. He coaches with positivity.
He's hard to not like.
Love this man! Our team is what it is today because of him! Gonna have the best year ever! Thanks Coach!!
As a current alcoholic in a bit of a hole myself, this was very inspiring. As long as I'm focused on doing my job and improving every day, I will be able to find a woman who will inspire me to be my best self. Thank you Coach McDaniel.
Ohh2752. I have 25 years and started at age 36. You'll be so happy and forever grateful for your new life and a wonderful woman!
Each day is its on battle my guy. You’re one decision away. To Decide means to kill something off to birth something new. We believe in you. You got this.
The lord is with you and you got this
Bud I've now been clean for over 10 years and I NEVER EVER EVER thought I would make it out. It's possible. I'll be praying for ya.
I quit drinking almost 4 years to the day and its great to enjoy everything life has to offer other than partying and thinking you're having fun when you don't even know what true happiness is yet until you're happy and sober.
His dependence on alcohol, which pushed him away from confronting the root cause of the issue, is what made him have set backs. It was not himself as a human or the timing of his journey. Very powerful story, thank you Mike for your vulnerability.
How funny that a hire who everyone questioned his leadership ability now has a team that would run through a brick wall. Something he’d probably not ask for though…😂
I’m actually surprised it’s alcohol he was struggling with lol could’ve sworn he was a stoner 😂.. but naw and I seriousness, I’m glad he overcame his demons and his battle loved him when he was with the 49ers I wish him nothing but great success
nah he’s still a stoner lmao
Crazy. I'm 27 and lost my job as a footwear designer for The North Face, my dream job. Because I was partying too much and lost focus on myself and my job. I checked myself into rehab and am on the journey for my next job and to better myself and those around me. I will post back when I land my next gig, just to show people that this tough journey will have an outcome no matter what, and hope to inspire anyone who is in a hole that you don't know how much deeper it will get.
🙏🏽
God bless and good luck
Incredible piece on adversity and determination to succeed and over come your battles. Thank you Mike for being humble and true. Your an awesome head coach, Dolphin fans should be thrilled to death with his knowledge and experience. True Leader of men. I've always loved the underdog or the one who hits the bottom only to turn it around and become something special.
Go Dolphins!!
McDaniels riding around with engine light driving a Audi .. he still has that savage mind lol😅
Love Coach McDaniel !🏈 He sees the “good” in every player. Everyone has a story in life. Happy Coach addressed the “issues” . Tua believes in himself because of Coach .
Really is unbelievable the amount of talent we had coaching for the Redskins and we ended up with none of them.
7:55 FYI, he's talking about the Redskins and how bad of an organization it was. As you said, the fact that they had so much talent should tell you all you need to know. Hopefully things improve with new ownership.
@@Omnis2the name sure didn’t improve 😂
@@charleskavoukjian3441 getting strong armed by a bunch of corporate CEOs who aren’t Native American to change our name is one of the biggest disgraces across all sports.
Been a loooong time since the Fins had a coach that they wanted to play for and the 1st coach to actually use raw data instead of yeah yeah yeah numbers. Thanks coach, football is back in SoFlo to go along with our Futbol 🔥
People who embrace recovery like this become the best possible version of themselves and lift up others around them. It’s finding a blessing in a curse and it is totally inspiring. Almost everyone is addicted to something. They escape somehow. Alcoholics and addicts get pressed harder to change or die and what can come of the change is one of the most beautiful transformations in this world
Proud of this dude, to be a recovering alcoholic & party animal in Miami is not easy.
I dont even drink but live on the strip, I walk past girls, parties, music & bars everyday & its basically 24Hrs.
Luckily you do get desensitized to it.
As a Dolphin fan, I'm happy he is the head coach he seems like a great student of the game and doesn't expect less from the players. Good job Mike. Good job
Im a Bills fan that has never liked Miami. This guy rules. I like him a great deal
What a gem of a coach and person. He brings perspective to the players and with that a drive to succeed. Now i wish the raiders could find a coach like this.
Stay spiritually positive and keep the Dolphins a dynamic football team as well!
This is super inspiring and touching. These people really gotta tell me how they sleep 4-5 hours a day and are still functional? I do that and I’m migraine riddled for weeks. Seems like it would take a doctors help to do it but I guess people are just built different
Same!
No they're not. He's guaranteed to get sick. Maybe not this year, maybe not in 5. But it will catch up to him.
@@thebagelchief1140 Exactly, a lack of sleep catches up to everyone. Scientists are learning now that sleep is tied to not only to memory formation but also "cleaning" of the brain via cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Modafinil
Tua needed this type of coach. He had been through so many injuries, people questioning his arm talent etc. Also that last coach Brian Flores had absolutely no belief in him and made his disdain public.
New number! 70! 😅
As a life long Dolphins fan is goes without saying that Don Shula will always be a god to us but there is something about this man that i really like and i am all in and my gut feeling says he is going to take us back to the promise land (Super bowl).
Mike McDaniel is, by far, my favorite coach even before I knew all of this. But now that I know all of this, I know that he’s just like anybody else man. He has issues and isn’t perfect. He has worked to better himself but not “ fix” himself. He’s just very likable.
At one point during the last Flores year I posted on Phins sites that the Phins should trade Tua to a team that knew how to develop a young QB because Flores had no idea of how to do it. I applaud Chris Grier for firing Flores and hiring Coach McDaniel. This year could be very special.
Alcohol abuse, to the leader of the dolphins. God bless him, prayers for him
An incredible interview. I wish Mike all the best in his future coaching career.
7:16
*865* represents the amount of time he was out of the NFL from end of Houston to Washington.
*246* was the time of day he got the call from Dolphin's owner, telling him he was their new HC.
1111
Miami gotta chance this year if mfs stay healthy
Driving around Miami at 3 am is kind of crazy. Please get a driver Mike!
That’s my teams coach and I couldn’t be happier with it
Interesting. He doesn’t have the prototypical demeanor or even voice of an NFL head coach. It’s inspiring. McVay (My Rams’ coach) is similar. Can’t judge a book by its cover!
His head coaching iq is super high. He’s coached the dolphins to 3 and 0 so far this year, 1 of only 3 undefeated teams and also head coached the dolphins to beating the broncos by fifty points.
Between him and Tua I don't know how anyone can dislike this team. Seriously hope they win it all
Great work, Jeff, giving people a view of Mike McDaniel that most people never see.
Inspirational!! I lost my father at 14 yo and struggled with similar adversities! Happy for you brother! God bless you!
2023 coach of the year AND/OR AFC champion AND/OR a success in 2024+
Wish i could be half as cool and good as a man as Coach McDaniel. What a stud.
I had no idea how good a coach he was. I thought he was just another trendy young coach hiring but this guy is like a football genius. Wish he came to the Raiders.
Will go down as the greatest head coach in NFL history. Book it
You're crazy for saying that
Lmao. Hasn't won squat despite loaded roster.
Agree
@@BrianW-dz6yna loaded roster with a QB who can't stay healthy..They should of drafted Herbert.
@@sammygaudino8906 coming back to this comment after Tuas performance
Gary Kubiak was a terrible head coach for Houston 😂
Ultra respect from a guy that is 100% Bills Mafia
I bet $15 on draft kings that Mike wins HCOY. It pays out $315. #chaching
I thought this was about the Morgan Wallen song
I met Gary Kubiak at arrowhead while working security, and he might be one of the nicest people that i ever interacted with
Couldn't be happier for both tua and Mike, tua never seemed to have the organization believe in him, but now he's got a coach that has his back. Also so glad that he's put the drinking behind him and is motivated to be the best. He's definitely an elite coach and an elite motivator.
It's not even 3am and he's already at work?
A bit ridiculous. Sleep is important too!
I've been out of the NFL for 15,120 days
Man I’m going to rehab for my alcohol and other addictions and this gives me so much strength
His sunglasses on the sidelines scream great Miami football head coach. Love this guy!!
Even as a Patriots fan I love Mike McDaniel. I'm going to keep rooting for this guy, way too likeable not to.
What time does he go to bed at? Health wise between 6 to 8 hours a night is recommended, which means he’s going to bed between 6 pm & 8 pm if he’s waking up at 2 am.
Love this guy. Get it, coach.
Better go get that check engine light serviced before you are late again.
70 pts later. 😂 u a goat coach.
Protect this man at all cost
After years under Flores(Great coach by the way but didn’t want Tua. )to see Tua blossom is cool. I’m a niner fan but I’m rooting for Tua as long as he ain’t playing the niners .
What book is he reading the Daily Stoic from?
I love Mike McDaniel. Such an interesting person and a great coach.
"the real number which changed my life was 420 but lets not talk about that" - McDaniels 2023
Football aside, I have mad respect for him as a human being. GO BILLS!!!!
Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me🏴☠️
I was Just about to give up on my lifelong team the Miami Dolphins now I'm super excited. I love everything about you as a coach keep up the good work
I only respect men who have had adversity and benn through struggle in life only the real 1s get it LOVE FROM TRENTON NJ
2 4 6 8 who do we appreciate Coach, Mcdaniel GOOO Coach !!! ⚓🐬⬆ 😄
Dude seems like he's tortured by his past failures for that reason I pray for his success. I want him to win a lot so he can sleep peacefully knowing he accomplished something
Glad to say he's my coach
stand-up guy & phenomenal coach, truly a gem
Now this is somebody I'd go to war for.
He'll be known for transforming the greatest quarterback and whole team. Heading to the Hall of Fame.
Coach McDaniel has a way of keeping players loose and getting
the Best out of them.
Does anyone know what book he was reading from in his office?
I love u Coach, bro got a brilliant mind
They just put up 70 on the Broncos
He has no clue.. He is definitely elite!!
The people that gave this goat a chance at being a NFL HEAD COACH ARE THE REAL MVPS
always liked McDaniel, after this? I LOVE Mike. Respect from The Colts
That’s our f-ing coach #LFG
Your awesome coach love the Dolphins!
I love every second of this, and him. Thank you for doing this.
No way he don’t smoke weed and talk like that
Bro he always sounds like he's high as a kite I swear😂😂
Tip my hat to you coach, see you in the playoffs (Miami @ 49ers)
How many hours does the guy sleep?
I know he isn’t, but he sounds inebriated in most of this video imho
Thanks for sharing. Great story to listen to.
Coach Mike may lead this team to greatness very soon. We'll see what happens, no matter what though, he's made such a huge positive impact on the Dolphins since he became coach. Alcohol is garbage, sobriety is the way towards your dreams.
Coach dropping the wisdom of the @DailyStoic - ua-cam.com/users/dailystoic
Mike McDaniel has always had a passing interest in numerology
