Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco 49ers will head to Miami to meet with their old friend Mike McDaniel and the Dolphins. In 2021, after a successful tenure as the 49ers' run game coordinator and offensive coordinator, Miami hired McDaniel as head coach to help usher in a new era of Dolphin football.
Since the two friends parted ways, both coaches have led their teams to the playoffs in 2022 & 2023. Unfortunately, both team’s seasons ended at the hands of the Chiefs in 2023. In 2024, the parallels continue in more ways than one.
