Alright, so I found myself going down a bit of a rabbit hole the other day. You know how it is, you see someone on TV a lot, like Mike McDaniel, the Dolphins coach, and you just get curious. He seems like a pretty unique guy, right? So, I thought, huh, wonder what his wife is like? Is he even married?

So, naturally, I grabbed my phone. First thing I did, just typed the obvious into the search bar: “mike mcdaniel wife”. Pretty standard stuff. Hit enter and waited to see what popped up.
Got a bunch of results, as you’d expect. Some news articles, some sports blogs, the usual mix. I started clicking around a bit. It wasn’t like super immediate, you know? Some articles mentioned him, but didn’t really go into detail about his family life. Had to sift through a few pieces.
Digging a Little Deeper
After a couple of clicks, I started seeing a name consistently: Katie McDaniel. Okay, cool, so he is married, and that’s her name. Some sources mentioned her maiden name might have been Hemstalk, but mostly just referred to her as Katie McDaniel.
Then I tried to see if I could find out a bit more. Like, what does she do? Are there pictures? My search terms got a bit more specific, things like “Katie McDaniel profession” or just looking through image results for them together.
- Found some pictures of them together, usually at NFL events or games.
- Read in a few spots that she works in beauty, specifically esthetics, or used to.
- Saw mentions of them having a daughter.
Final Thoughts on the Search
Honestly, finding basic info wasn’t super hard once I spent a few minutes looking. Her name came up pretty quickly in reliable news reports and sports sites. But details beyond that? Like, deep personal stuff? Not really out there, or at least not easily found.

And you know what? That felt kinda right. They seem like they keep their private life pretty private, compared to some other public figures. You see them at official things, but they aren’t splashing everything online. Makes sense. It was just a bit of curiosity on my part, and I found the basics. Job done, moved on with my day. Just interesting sometimes to see what you can, and can’t, easily find out.
