Mike McDaniel becomes head coach of Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins have decided on their next head coach. The team announced Sunday that it has hired former San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to serve as their new lead man.
McDaniel, a Yale graduate with 15 years of coaching experience, is known for his innovative run game concepts and bright offensive mind. While he’s been coaching for a decade and a half, his rise to a head coaching role has come quickly after serving just one season as offensive coordinator in San Francisco.
he 38-year-old McDaniel spent the 2017-20 seasons as the run game coordinator for the 49ers before being promoted to offensive coordinator in 2021.
San Francisco finished the campaign with the seventh-ranked offense in the NFL. McDaniel had a hand in orchestrating the 49ers’ aggressive rushing offense and also helped Deebo Samuel compile an All-Pro campaign with 1,770 yards from scrimmage and 14 total touchdowns.
McDaniel got his start as an intern with the Broncos in 2005.
