"Most thought the Commanders made perfect sense for McDaniel once he was fired by the Miami Dolphins. His time as a head coach fizzled out, but he remains one of the league's most respected, innovative offensive minds. He also has a strong connection to Dan Quinn, who pulled him out of a dark place when they worked together on the Atlanta Falcons. The Commanders promoted David Blough to replace Kliff Kingsbury instead."
"Fans thought this meant McDaniel was more interested in taking a head-coaching job, but they were wrong. He even cancelled meetings for top-job opportunities to become the Los Angeles Chargers' offensive coordinator. Commanders won't have to face Mike McDaniel twice a season after he joined the Chargers Jeff Darlington of ESPN revealed that the Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers had both made McDaniel their top offensive coordinator candidate. However, the thought of helping quarterback Justin Herbert reach new heights proved too tempting to ignore."
Mike McDaniel was fired by the Miami Dolphins after a fizzled head-coach tenure but remains a respected, innovative offensive mind with a strong connection to Dan Quinn. The Washington Commanders promoted David Blough to replace Kliff Kingsbury. Fans assumed McDaniel sought another head-coaching post, yet he canceled top-job meetings to join the Los Angeles Chargers as offensive coordinator. The Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers both pursued McDaniel aggressively. The opportunity to return to California and coach Justin Herbert proved decisive. Washington avoids facing McDaniel twice a season, and the Eagles will consider other offensive coordinator candidates.
