Mike McDaniel (Photo via NBC)Some people just weren’t built to survive the northern winter weather, and Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel appears to be one of those guys.
The Dolphins left Lambeau Field nursing another defeat as the Packers defended their home turf rather admirably on Thanksgiving, playing out to a 30-17 win.
There were concerns regarding quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and cold weather heading into the contest, and it appears they were not all that far off as he’s now lost eight games in below 40-degree weather.
Tua wasn’t the only one struggling through the bitter cold temperatures, though. During NBC’s broadcast of the game, someone noticed McDaniel on the sideline shivering as he tried to call in a play for his offense.
“Shivering on the sidelines while trying to lead grown a** men lol,” the fan wrote.

“This is tough for the brand 😭,” a fan wrote.
“His face looks like my alcoholic uncle that has to go stand outside and smoke his Marlboros outside during Thanksgiving dinner,” another joked.
“Noticed exactly the same. And he grew up in DENVER. School at Yale. And he can’t handle cold weather???” someone wondered.
“Love the self deprication and sense of awareness, but gotta save this one for when you win the game or else you’re going to get cooked either way, coach,” another suggested.
Mike McDaniel And The Dolphins Continue To Struggle In The Cold?
Other fans would point out that the wind caused Mike McDaniel’s play sheet to move about.
“Clearly the wind,” one said.
“Yes it’s cold but I think it’s the wind,” another observed.
“That’s the wind, look closer,” wrote a third.
“guys i know it’s the wind. it’s a damn joke,” the HC posted in response.
The frostbite will sting for a while, but it’s the L that probably hurt McDaniel and the Dolphins the most, as they now find themselves well out of playoff contention with their 5-7 record.

Tua Tagovailoa threw for 317 yards and four touchdowns, including two scores to running back De’Von Achane.
Tagovailoa moved to 7-0 in his career against New England.
As head coach of the Dolphins, McDaniel has a 25-20 overall record with the franchise.
Mike McDaniel Has To Keep The Dolphins Winning
Without Tua, the Dolphins were a shell of themselves.
With him back under center, the team is damn near unbeatable, and the more wins they rack up, the more they increase their slim playoff chances.
If Mike McDaniel can keep this team winning football games, the Dolphins could easily grab a playoff wild card spot.
If the Dolphins can keep up this hot streak, this could easily be one team that no other squad wants to run into in January.
