The Miami Dolphins have hired a new head coach, agreeing to a deal with former San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, the team announced on Sunday. The move comes to fill the vacancy created at the end of the 2021 regular season when the Dolphins fired Brian Flores. McDaniel is getting his first chance at being a head coach with this hire.
McDaniel, 38, began his coaching career as an intern for the Denver Broncos in 2005. He then worked as an offensive assistant with the Houston Texans from 2006 through 2008.
