The Dolphins have agreed to terms with 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to make him the team’s new coach, the team announced Sunday.
McDaniel will replace Brian Flores, who was fired after posting a 9–8 record in 2021. Flores later filed a a class-action lawsuit against the NFL and three teams alleging discrimination earlier this week. In the lawsuit, Flores alleges that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross offered him a $100,000 bonus for each loss during the 2019 season in order to secure the No. 1 pick in the 2020 draft. Flores said he did not comply.
