Mike McDaniel is emerging as an early front-runner for Coach of the Year.
A piece of advice to football fans contemplating heckling Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel: you might want to reconsider. In a video capturing Jets fans taunting McDaniel for using a heater during Miami’s Week 12 Black Friday game against the New York Jets, the composed coach responded with wit, calmly stating that he’s “cold” and “also winning.”

In this playful exchange, McDaniel clearly outsmarted the hecklers, leaving them with nothing to say.
The AFC East-leading Dolphins easily handled the struggling Jets, who have now suffered four consecutive losses, securing a decisive 34-13 victory. The highlight of the game was Jevon Holland’s impressive 99-yard pick-six, intercepting Tim Boyle’s Hail Mary attempt at the end of the first half.
With a comfortable 8-3 record heading into Week 13, the Dolphins are positioned well. If the Buffalo Bills (6-5) stumble against the Philadelphia Eagles, McDaniel and the Dolphins will find themselves 2.5 games ahead of the Bills with six games remaining.
The reputation of Mike McDaniel continues to soar as the Dolphins assert their dominance in the AFC East.
