"According to Ian Rapoport from the NFL Network, the Detroit Lions have already reached out to McDaniel about their vacant offensive coordinator position. Fellow league insider Mike Garafolo from the same organization added that there is a laundry list of teams that have him on their shortlist, with some wanting to examine his credentials in greater detail to become a head coach again immediately."
"Washington must make a bid for McDaniel. Anything less is organizational malpractice. He feels indebted to Quinn, who helped him through some tough times and never stopped believing in his capabilities. The Commanders need to reach out and see what his plans are. If he wants to step back from being a head coach and focus more on play-calling, they need to give him whatever he wants."
Mike McDaniel was fired by the Miami Dolphins and immediately became a top target for multiple teams. The Detroit Lions contacted McDaniel about their vacant offensive coordinator role, and several teams have placed him on shortlists for head coach positions. McDaniel's close bond with Dan Quinn and his offensive innovation make him highly coveted. The Washington Commanders face competition and must actively pursue him to avoid missing the opportunity. The Commanders offer an ascending offensive line, franchise quarterback Jayden Daniels, and receivers Terry McLaurin and possibly Deebo Samuel Sr., who knows McDaniel well. Organizational urgency and a competitive bid are required.
