Tua Tagovailoa, the Miami Dolphins quarterback, recently signed a massive contract extension, and his coach, Mike McDaniel, played a key role in getting the deal done.
McDaniel's belief in Tagovailoa's abilities was instrumental in convincing team ownership to give him a large contract.
Tagovailoa has acknowledged McDaniel's support, stating that he went to bat for him with the owner.
The 2025 season will be crucial for Tagovailoa, as his performance could determine whether the Dolphins extend his contract further.
