Chiefs linebackers coach Brendan Daly recently shared an amusing encounter involving his daughters and pop star Taylor Swift. Daly’s two daughters, aged 14 and 12, are huge Taylor Swift fans, and their excitement over catching a glimpse of their idol led to a comical incident during Super Bowl 2024 week.
After the Chiefs won a game, Daly’s wife and daughters spotted Taylor Swift in the press box. They were thrilled and decided to wait for her outside in the family area of the parking lot. Meanwhile, Daly went home, watched game highlights, had dinner, and prepared for bed. Little did he know that his wife and daughters would encounter a flat tire on their way home.
As his wife recounted the events of the evening, Daly realized that his family had blown a tire after getting overly excited about seeing Taylor Swift across the parking lot. Determined to help them, Daly woke his older son, and together they went to the rescue.
While it may not have been the best night for Daly personally, he acknowledged that it was worth it for his daughters’ happiness. The love for Taylor Swift runs deep in their family, as evidenced by a previous road trip they took to Montana, where they listened to Swift’s greatest hits.
Daly is no stranger to big games, as he will be coaching for his sixth Super Bowl ring on Sunday. Having previously won three with the Patriots and two with the Chiefs, he is no stranger to success in the NFL. Daly also has experience working alongside Giants head coach Brian Daboll, who is another five-time champion. They worked together for three seasons from 2014 to 2016.
Daly was among the candidates interviewed for the Giants’ defensive coordinator job, which ultimately went to Shane Bowen. Despite the chaotic timing of the interviews during AFC Championship game week, Daly expressed his appreciation for the experience and his respect for Daboll.
Overall, the amusing Taylor Swift encounter and the family’s flat tire incident highlight the unique experiences and challenges faced by NFL coaches and their families. Daly’s dedication to his daughters’ happiness and his commitment to his coaching career are evident in these stories.
