Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel showed off his transformed look on Wednesday — and fans are making plenty of jokes about the 41-year-old.
McDaniel was introduced to Dolphins fans in February 2022 looking rather dapper. The coach wore a suit and tie, had his hair neatly combed and sported a trim stubble for his first press conference.
On Wednesday, however, McDaniel looked almost unrecognizable with a thick goatee, longer, messy hair and dark sunglasses.
And fans reacted hilariously to McDaniels’ new look.

Regardless of how McDaniel looks, he has had success with the Dolphins, vastly improving Tua Tagovailoa’s game and leading the team to a playoff berth in his first two seasons in Miami.
Last year, Miami went 11-6 with the league’s most exciting offense before losing to the eventual champion Chiefs in the wild-card round.
They open their season on September 8 against the Jaguars.
