Mike McDaniel had the best reaction to seeing himself on TV at the NFL combine
By now, the Miami Dolphins’ Mike McDaniel has developed a reputation for having an off-beat personality. He’ll roast his own quarterback to his face. He’ll ask another QB nicely to stop gashing his team’s defense. He’ll even troll inclement weather with a t-shirt because that’s how you must approach an impending avalanche of snow.
With no meaningful games happening for a while, McDaniel still found a way to give us a laugh at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine. (He wasn’t among the big winners, but he probably should’ve been.)
When the TV camera panned over to the Dolphins’ coach studying his notes, he noticed it. Before diving back into his studies, McDaniel seemed to amusingly say a light curse while pointing out that, yes, that’s him on camera:

How many other NFL coaches do you think would have the self-awareness to make a quick little joke like that before diving back into their Very Important Studies? One? Two? Maybe three?
No, sorry, I’m wrong. McDaniel might be the funniest pro football head coach right now, and he stands alone in this regard.
