"We're gonna do everything we can to make you happy." Jeff Hafley, the new head coach of the Miami Dolphins, knows the expectations are high for him to lead a franchise that hasn't won a playoff game in a quarter of a century. Coach Hafley traces his rise from being a kid fixated on football (he asked for a mini whiteboard for Christmas!) to his college coaching career beginning by sleeping under his desk in the stadium at the University of Pittsburgh and surviving on peanut butter to becoming an NFL head coach. Coach Hafley makes it clear to Dan Le Batard and the many broken Dolphins' fans like him: he was made for the job and is someone who promises to outwork everyone and has the history of missed weddings, strained relationships, and years of choosing the job over everything else to prove it. He also explains why he walked away from being head coach at Boston College to return to the NFL (“I didn’t like who I was becoming") and why he chose Miami over other teams.
