When Mike McDaniel was named the Dolphins head coach on Feb. 6, he didn’t waste any time putting his trust and confidence in Tua Tagovailoa as Miami’s starting quarterback.
In fact, shortly after accepting the job, McDaniel told Tagovailoa in a FaceTime call that he had the “ambition to be great” and that it was his job to bring the “greatness” out of the third-year quarterback. So far, their partnership has paid dividends for the Dolphins.
Currently, Miami (8-3) sits in first place in the AFC East, and Tagovailoa is a big reason why.
