865 is the number of days Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel was out of the league after being fired by the Houston Texans. He uses it as motivation and a reminder of how the alcohol problem he overcame almost cost him his dream.

No way he don’t smoke weed and talk like that
Love Coach McDaniel !🏈 He sees the “good” in every player. Everyone has a story in life. Happy Coach addressed the “issues” . Tua believes in himself because of Coach .
I love u Coach, bro got a brilliant mind
Coach McDaniel has been and will continue to be the individual that launched Tua’s career and this organization to new heights
This is super inspiring and touching. These people really gotta tell me how they sleep 4-5 hours a day and are still functional? I do that and I’m migraine riddled for weeks. Seems like it would take a doctors help to do it but I guess people are just built different
That’s our f-ing coach #LFG
Im a Bills fan that has never liked Miami. This guy rules. I like him a great deal
My man Mike! 💙👊😎
He’s the modern day bill belichick and tua is Brady
Alcohol abuse, to the leader of the dolphins. God bless him, prayers for him
Great dude. Try to be the best version of yourself. Have perspective.
Your awesome coach love the Dolphins!
Incredible
How funny that a hire who everyone questioned his leadership ability now has a team that would run through a brick wall. Something he’d probably not ask for though…😂
It's not even 3am and he's already at work?
A bit ridiculous. Sleep is important too!
Inspiring story.. Awesome stuff
Love it.
Really is unbelievable the amount of talent we had coaching for the Redskins and we ended up with none of them.
Inspirational!! I lost my father at 14 yo and struggled with similar adversities! Happy for you brother! God bless you!
This is what alcohol addiction can do to someone. It creeps up on you so quick before you even realize it.
He has no clue.. He is definitely elite!!
Mike McDaniel saved Tua. One more year with Brian Flores would of completely shattered his confidence.
I believe Coach!
You are elite
Mike is hilarious and a great coach. SF misses him and wishes him lots of success. He coaches with positivity.
That's my coach. Love that guy.
Protect this man at all cost
I love Mike McDaniel. Such an interesting person and a great coach.
I love every second of this, and him. Thank you for doing this.
McDaniels riding around with engine light driving a Audi .. he still has that savage mind lol😅
What Audi is he driving
always liked McDaniel, after this? I LOVE Mike. Respect from The Colts
Snooze fest
Dear espn: SUNDAY NFL COUNTDOWN COMPLETLY SUCCS WITHOUT MATT HASSELBECC, Rehire him immediately!!
You are the best COACH so relatable
One of greatest offensive mind around
Proud of this dude, to be a recovering alcoholic & party animal in Miami is not easy.
I dont even drink but live on the strip, I walk past girls, parties, music & bars everyday & its basically 24Hrs.
Luckily you do get desensitized to it.
