"I'm Black" -This White Guy

The Miami Dolphins are under the national spotlight after their former head coach, Brian Flores, sued the NFL for discrimination. Flores was fired after back-to-back winning seasons by Miami so how would they fill their head coaching vacancy knowing everyone is questioning whether or not they are prejudiced?

This guy.

Meet Mike McDaniel, the man who looks like he hosts a Star Wars podcast and alleged biracial hire by the organization in trouble for being racist. It smells remarkably fishy in here.

Miami, in the midst of their public beatdown for hiring a black coach only to immediately demand he intentionally loses games and then firing him when he was accidentally successful, decided to hire the whitest looking black coach they could find.

Mike McDaniel looks like he starred in the Full House Netflix reboot.

The Dolphins were in a lose-lose situation here. Either they select a random white guy and prove Brian Flores’s point or they hire a black coach and appear as if they are pandering and desperately trying to change the narrative.

However, fuck the Dolphins.

They did this to themselves. Personally, I think they hired Brian Flores to say ‘look guys, we love diversity so much’ knowing damn well they only wanted a guy in the building to tank and when they drafted the quarterback of the future, they were going to find any excuse to fire Flores and bring in an ‘offensive genius’ aka a white guy who worked under Kyle Shanahan or Sean McVay.

Problem was, Brian Flores was actually a tremendous head coach and won games despite their desires to tank. Miami was completely caught off guard by the idea of a black coach knowing what he’s doing. They could not fathom the idea of a brown man overachieving. But they stuck with their plan of firing him and bringing in a Shanahan disciple regardless of how well Flores performed and here we are.

As far as Mike McDaniel goes, good for him. He’s been coaching since 2005 and I do believe he worked his way up to this position. It sucks that he has to rise up out of Brian Flores’s ashes. It sucks that I had to search and look for this photo:

I got a lot of tweets to get off when I can come up for air, but I know y’all needed to see this 😂😂😂.

Mike Mcdaniel’s parents’ wedding photo (that he sent me the first day I signed i n CLE in 2014. because I was skeptical lol):

Congrats to my guy Mike! https://t.co/Q7yfe5SNbd pic.twitter.com/e1oiYgYQoO

It sucks that he truly is biracial but looks like Logic…if both of Logic’s parents were white. But as far as the football side of things goes, this might be a perfect hire for a Dolphins organization that hasn’t finished in the Top 10 in total yards since 1998.

Tua Tagovailoa could finally look like an NFL quarterback if McDaniel brings any of the 49ers’ secret recipes over with him to Florida: the home of questionably beige guys who might be black.

Also, and most importantly, fuck the Miami Dolphins.
