"Mike McDaniel has officially been fired as Miami Dolphins head coach. The Washington Commanders should have been on the phone with his agent within five minutes of hearing the news. Or he may have had head coach Dan Quinn put in a direct call. As was well documented before the Commanders played the Dolphins in Spain this season, the two coaches have a very close personal relationship dating back to McDaniel's days as an offensive assistant under Quinn with the Atlanta Falcons."
"The timing could not be more fortuitous. Washington announced the departure of offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury earlier this week. Now, just a few days later, one of the most highly respected offensive minds in the NFL is looking for a job. He has a history with the head coach and the organization. McDaniel coached under Mike Shanahan in Washington from 2011-2013. Seems like a match made in heaven, no?"
Mike McDaniel was fired as Miami Dolphins head coach and immediately became a top coaching candidate. The Washington Commanders have a personal connection to McDaniel through head coach Dan Quinn, who mentored and supported him during their time in Atlanta. Washington recently parted ways with offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, creating an opening for an elite offensive play caller. Multiple NFL teams, including the Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons, Tennessee Titans, Arizona Cardinals, and Las Vegas Raiders, quickly expressed interest, reflecting McDaniel's high demand and multiple potential fits across the league.
