Mike McDaniel has officially been hired as the new head coach of the Miami Dolphins.

Now, he’ll hit the ground running in South Beach. One of his first jobs? Turn former Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa into an NFL star.

On Tuesday, the Dolphins shared McDaniel’s first message to the former Crimson Tide great:

“We’re going to have an extensive professional relationship, my man,” McDaniel told Tagovailoa. “One thing I know about you is you have the ambition to be great. My job is to coach you, to get all that greatness out of you. And it’s going to be fun, man. It’s going to be work, but I know you’re not afraid of that. So this is an awesome day for me and I’m damn sure going to make sure that when you look back on this day, you’re going to be like, ‘Damn, that was one of the best days of my career,’ too. OK? But I’ll earn that from you. You got me?”

The 2022 season will be an important one for Tagovailoa and the Dolphins. McDaniel will be evaluating everything this offseason to try to make the roster the best it can possibly be for his first year at the helm.
