The famous Michael Lee McDaniel is an American football coach who is the head coach for the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League.
A former long-time assistant to Mike and Kyle Shanahan, McDaniel began his NFL coaching career as an intern for the Denver Broncos in 2005.
McDaniel’s biracial background did subject him to bigotry as a child, however.
On multiple occasions, his friends weren’t allowed to spend the night at his home.
McDaniel initially had no idea why, but after a series of temper tantrums, his mother, Donna, finally told him.
He and his mother were also ostracized by members of her family for her decision to marry and have a child with a Black man, which McDaniel called eye-opening.
