Mike McDaniel gushes about Tua Tagovailoa's passing: 'It's the most accurate, catchable ball I've ever seen'

Part of being a first-time head coach is living off of hype, and that's exactly what Miami Dolphins first-time head coach Mike McDaniel is doing. He could be a bust, or he could be the next Bill Belichick. At this point, nobody knows, so all we have is hype.

Dolphins fans have to be excited about going from a defensive-minded head coach in Brian Flores to McDaniel — who comes from Kyle Shanahan's coaching tree — but is there such thing as too much excitement?

In the preseason ... there certainly is, and that's exactly what we got when the Dolphins coach sat down with the Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz.

McDaniel gassed up his quarterback, which is expected, but is he perhaps too high on Tua Tagovailoa? Time will only tell in Miami, but the head coach is certainly drinking the Tua Kool-Aid.

"The skill set [is] crazy. I mean, the dude is right-handed. You hear me? He's right-handed but he throws lefty," McDaniel started. 

The head coach then went into a spiel about how every left-handed quarterback he's coached has had some sort of tail on the throw, but that's not the case for Tagovailoa.

"His doesn't. It's the most accurate, catchable ball I've ever seen," McDaniel said.

Le Batard tried to rewind the tape and he asked McDaniel to clarify. Is it really the most accurate, catchable ball he's ever seen?

The coach paused for a moment but then stayed the course.

"I mean, yeah," McDaniel said.

If there was a laugh track available for the show, that would have been a great time to use it.
