"It may be a pie-in-the-sky hope, but if former Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel doesn't land one of the head coaching jobs - Browns, Titans, Falcons or Ravens, so far - he's interviewing for, he could have interest in becoming the Buccaneers offensive coordinator. McDaniel, 42, is scheduled to interview with Tampa Bay head coach Todd Bowles for that role on Friday, and he would be the No. 1 play-calling target for many NFL teams."
"McDaniel, who was fired after four seasons last week, is considered one of the best play-callers in the NFL. He was a big branch from 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan's coaching tree and an innovator, particularly in the run game. After several seasons on Shanahan's staff, McDaniel reached the playoffs each of his first two years with the Dolphins before they were eliminated in the wild-card round. In 2023, the Dolphins led the NFL in total offense (401.2 yards per game), and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was the game's most prolific passer with 4,624 yards."
Mike McDaniel is scheduled to interview with Tampa Bay head coach Todd Bowles for the Buccaneers offensive coordinator role and could pursue the position if he does not secure a head coaching job. Tampa Bay also met with former Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken, who said neither side is in a hurry. McDaniel was fired after four Dolphins seasons and is regarded as a top play-caller and Shanahan coaching-tree innovator. The Dolphins led the NFL in total offense in 2023 with 401.2 yards per game and Tua Tagovailoa threw for 4,624 yards. Recent Dolphins finishes were 8-9 and 7-10 amid injuries and organizational upheaval.
