"He has a special, unbreakable bond with Dan Quinn that goes way beyond football. The dots connect themselves. McDaniel is one of the most innovative offensive minds in the game. He should get some head-coaching interest for an immediate jump back into a top job elsewhere. However, if he opts to move back into a more play-calling specific role, the Commanders should make him their most pressing priority above all else."
"Washington wants to maximize quarterback Jayden Daniels' skill set with a well-balanced offense. Quinn and Kingsbury couldn't come to an agreement on the best way to move forward, and the play-caller was let go. McDaniel is one of the few who could be considered an upgrade, given his experience under Mike and Kyle Shanahan, among others. He also runs the precise offensive system the Commanders want to implement."
Mike McDaniel has been fired by the Miami Dolphins and maintains an unbreakable bond with Dan Quinn. Washington needs a new offensive coordinator after parting with Kliff Kingsbury and could view McDaniel as a top target. McDaniel's offense emphasizes a precise, zone-blocking heavy run game that fits Jayden Daniels' skill set. Hiring McDaniel could shift Washington's 2026 draft priorities, making running back Jeremiyah Love a possibility at No.7. Love rushed for 1,652 yards from scrimmage and 21 touchdowns for Notre Dame, though selecting a running back in the top ten carries significant risk given other team needs.
