The Miami Dolphins have made it to the NFL playoffs in each of head coach Mike McDaniel's first two seasons. But the team also lost in the wild-card round both times, which is a starting point for McDaniel's offseason motivation tactics for his staff and players.
It's been 24 years since the Dolphins last won a playoff game. One way McDaniel is reminding the team of that is to schedule meetings at the :24 mark of a particular hour. Thus, the staff isn't meeting at 5:30; it's meeting at 5:24. And so forth.
In McDaniel's view, Dolphins players and coaches are going to be hearing plenty of the number 24, especially as the postseason approaches.
