From 2008-2012 he was the coach of the NSW Country Origin team.

In September 2007, Daley left his commentary position with Fox Sports and signed a contract with the Nine Network to co-present much of their rugby league coverage, from appearing on the weekly rugby league topic show The Footy Show, to commentating on Nine's weekend league coverage.

In 2010, after New South Wales suffered their fifth consecutive series defeat and their first Origin whitewash (a series lost 0–3) , he was sacked as the state's team selector.

However, on 21 August 2012 Daley was appointed the NSW State of Origin coach from 2013, taking over from former Canberra team mate Ricky Stuart who, under NSW policy of their Origin coach not being a current NRL club coach, was ruled out after agreeing to coach the Parramatta Eels in 2013.
Daley got the job in preference to other candidates including Trent Barrett, Brad Fittler and Daniel Anderson.
Daley led the Blues to their first series win in 2014, finally breaking the QLD dynasty and delivering the Blues their first series win since 2005.

In 2014, Daley became only the second man after Wayne Pearce to play, captain and coach a Blues side to a series win over Queensland.

In 2015, Daley coached New South Wales to a game 3 decider against Queensland after a spirited comeback in Game 2 but The Blues were defeated 52-6 in a record breaking Origin loss.
 In 2016, New South Wales were once again defeated by Queensland but the NSWRL board still backed Daley as the man to take the side forward.
 In 2017, NSW were widely tipped to win the series due to Queensland having suffered injuries to star players and won the first game with an emphatic 28-4 victory in Brisbane.
 In game 2, New South Wales surrendered a 16-6 halftime lead to lose 18-16.
 In game 3, NSW lost the series to Queensland after being defeated 22-6 in Brisbane.
 On 25 August 2017, Daley was terminated as New South Wales coach after only winning 6 out of 15 games and winning only 1 out of 5 series.
His replacement was Brad Fittler who has since coached NSW to two consecutive series victories over the Queensland Maroons(2018&2019)
Since February 2018, Daley has co-hosted the Big Sports Breakfast on Sky Sports Radio in Sydney.

In March 2018, Daley returned to commentating with NRL Nation, a syndicated Rugby League Radio call owned and run by Crocmedia.

Since July 2018, he joined CBS Sports as co-host of Sports Tonight on Network 10.
