Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel clarifies how he met his wife

Transcript

00:00 I would say the skeleton of the story is correct, but there's a couple important caveats.

00:08 First of all, the perceived threat that I made to a player was over the top a joke,

00:20 considering both he and I knew that as a writing back coach I had no ability to say if he was

00:26 there or not.

00:27 It was more of a jest.

00:29 And second of all, my wife was telling me that people were talking about me stealing

00:36 people's girls.

00:38 The dude had met her for 45 seconds.

00:43 But you called dibs.

00:44 I mean, I kind of did.

00:50 It was a light heart.

00:51 It was a very unique scenario.

00:54 I think it was a special place in her memories, but I don't think it was...

01:05 I wasn't nearly...

01:07 I feel like I was painted out to be kind of a D-bag.

01:10 It wasn't like that at all.

01:15 It was all niceties.

01:16 We were celebrating as a team.

01:19 It was something that I think Stephen Barkley, the player that was dancing with her, was

01:25 well aware when I made that joke and jest that it was more important to me than it was

01:30 to him.

01:31 I'm pretty sure I was right.

01:32 I mean, I have a family now.

01:33 Good decision.

01:34 Was it dance moves?

01:35 One or over?

01:36 Clearly.

01:37 It had nothing to do with anything.

01:38 It wasn't my physical disposition.

01:39 I promise you that.

01:40 It was a cool, light-hearted story that I felt like took a turn.
