"An offensive coordinator gig could await Mike McDaniel by the time the hiring cycle comes to a close. McDaniel is among the coaches who were fired last week. He has already arranged interviews with the Browns and Titans for their HC positions, and the list of suitors is growing. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports the Falcons and Ravens have reached out to McDaniel as well. Interviews with Atlanta and Baltimore will take place this week."
"The Lions reached out to McDaniel about their offensive coordinator opening hours after his Dolphins firing. Per Pelissero, an interview for that spot will also take place shortly. Further interest for other OC positions would come as no surprise, but McDaniel is clearly a candidate to continue leading an NFL team in 2026 at this point. Over the course of four seasons in Miami, McDaniel posted an overall record of 35-33."
"Atlanta cleaned house after the regular season came to an end, firing both Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot before 'Black Monday' even began. The Falcons spent last week interviewing candidates for their new president of football operations role, and as expected Matt Ryan is now in place. With that front office hire having been made, attention will turn to the league's only GM vacancy along with the search for Morris' replacement."
Mike McDaniel was fired and has interviews with the Browns and Titans for their head coaching vacancies. The Falcons and Ravens also requested interviews this week. The Lions contacted McDaniel about their offensive coordinator opening and have a meeting planned. McDaniel remains a candidate for OC roles and potential head coaching jobs in 2026. He went 35-33 in four seasons with Miami, reached the playoffs in 2022 and 2023 but lost wild-card games both years, and the Dolphins posted losing records the next two seasons. McDaniel previously spent two years with the Falcons as an offensive assistant in 2015-16. Baltimore's list of candidates to succeed John Harbaugh is long.
