  • Players hated playing for him - and his methods didn’t lead to winning, so it was basically a mutiny by the end

    mcDaniels kept players in meetings longer and worked them harder than any team in the league… For no results. Players will buy in to hard work, but not if it doesn’t go anywhere

    He is a micromanager who routinely blamed the players for not executing, rather than look at his own game plans

    He is famously petty and sensitive - and fell out with a lot of players for no good reason. Just like he was an asshole to Jay Cutler and others in Denver, he immediately fell out with Carr, Waller, Renfrow and others.

    His play calling is just conservative and archaic. He hates allowing players any creativity, which is why he fell out with Renfrow and Carr in particular. Carr likes to change plays at the line based on what he sees, mcDaniels hated that

    Famously, in the Seattle win last year, Carr audibled into a run that Jacobs broke for a long touchdown. McDaniels was mad he changed the play, not happy we scored a TD

    He’d rather lose with his own guys than win with someone elses. Hence the insistence on downgrading to Jimmy G, who he overestimated how much he’d fit in his system, despite failing a physical

    Ultimately, mcDaniels sucked all the joy and life out of this team. Which is why they celebrated like you’ve never seen when he got fired.
