Rumored friction between the running back and former head coach Mike McDaniel was confirmed during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com\/watch\/fmc-63g20f9w3ttopkt2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mostert\u2019s interview with Colin Cowherd;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Mostert\u2019s interview with Colin Cowherd<\/a> of FOX Sports on Monday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">When asked by Cowherd about the relationship between Mostert and McDaniel, the running back had this to say:<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cWe had a good relationship going into the Dolphins organization, but obviously things kind of flustered and went their own ways, but you know, at the beginning of everything there\u2019s always a good story\u2026 We did everything that we possibly could to maximize opportunities that were given to us.. He\u2019s a great coach.. If guys are talking, he\u2019ll listen and give them some advice, but head coach wise \u2014 the past couple of years, what [Miami has] been going through, it\u2019s just been kind of rough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Mostert would continue:<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cI just kind of feel bad for the players\u2026 When you have a coach that is so player friendly, it doesn\u2019t really mix all that well. Look at the coaching history\u2026 of all of these different sports franchises, they have coaches that implement toughness, resilience and that\u2019s something that he kind of missed the mark on in being a head coach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Cowherd would then go on to question Miami\u2019s lack of toughness under McDaniel before asking Mostert to comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cWhen you talk about guys like Mike Tomlin, [Mike] Vrabel, even look at [Bill] Belichick, it was no-nonsense BS. We get in here, we\u2019re getting the job done, and it\u2019s my way or the highway. It\u2019s pure, this is how we\u2019re going to coach it. I\u2019m essentially the ruler\u2026 When you\u2019re dealing with a coach that\u2019s so nonchalant, laid back, wants to be the catalyst behind being a player\u2019s coach, it kind of shifts that organization\u2026 It can work for other smaller league teams, possibly\u2026 As a player, I need somebody tough that\u2019s going to lay the hammer down when it needs to be down and tell other players to get in line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">When you don\u2019t got that, that impact can definitely be detrimental.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Raheem Mostert\u2019s departure from the Miami Dolphins following the 2024 NFL season was a less-than-ceremonious affair.
