Mike McDaniel has worked to overcome alcohol problem to emerge as Kyle Shanahan deputy

The San Francisco 49ers are expected to introduce Kyle Shanahan as their next head coach after Super Bowl 51 wraps up. At that point, he will begin the process of hiring assistant coaches. Dan Quinn and the Atlanta Falcons have made it clear Shanahan will not be able to hire any of his assistants of significance, but there are some assistants that could join Shanahan in Santa Clara.

One of the notable names is offensive assistant Mike McDaniel. He served as wide receivers coach in Washington and Cleveland in 2013 and 2014, and has been listed as a general offensive assistant for the Falcons since 2015.
