Sports media personality Dov Kleiman shared clear footage on X of former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel in a bold outfit. McDaniel was about to board a flight to Baltimore to interview for the Ravens’ head coaching job, which John Harbaugh held for 18 long years.
Kleiman captioned it: “𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚: Former Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel has gone viral for his outlandish outfit while boarding a flight to Baltimore to interview for the Ravens head coaching job.”
Cybercitizens mention Barack Obama and Stefon Diggs in comments
The first comment on the X post features former US President Barack Obama’s popular reaction meme. The meme expresses confusion, a dismissive “I don’t know” emotion, or “What’s new in that?” or “So what?” The comment read: “Bro looking dapper as hell, why you keep posting about this?”
Another user commented “Meanwhile…” and shared a photo of New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs in a balloon-sleeve light-brown zipper jacket with black wide-legged trousers.
Cardi B’s partner wore this outfit at Paris Fashion Week in 2024. He attended the Sacai Menswear Spring/Summer 2025 show. GQ Australia called him the world’s most stylish athlete in a June 2025 story, featuring the same outfit.
Travelling with style
Some users supported the coach: “So now it’s a crime to dress up [laughing face emoji],” “What is outlandish about this outfit? should he wear sweatpants and a flat billed hat?” “It’s a nice suit!” and “Smart guy here I hope he lands in Baltimore.”
A user commented, “McDaniel out here making fashion a full-contact sport.” Another said, “That is not really outlandish.”
A third user wrote, “You can take Mike out of Miami.. but you can’t take the Miami out of Mike.” A fourth user chimed in, “Got to dress for the job you’re applying for.” A fifth user declared, “Traveling with style.”
Mike McDaniel’s moon colored suit
McDaniel wore a light gray or moon-colored big-checkered buttoned three-piece suit. The suit was body-hugging, with a matching tight-fitting coat and trousers.
The short coat had a long collar and a dark gray or almost black zig-zag patterned tie. The tie’s pattern matched his two duffel bags. One was pistachio green, the other dark olive. He wore a light gray undercoat and a steel-colored shirt.
He accessorized with peach-colored headphones and square black goggles. He had a short-textured mod haircut and a short-boxed beard.
Interview with Las Vegas Raiders for Pete Carroll's position
