The Miami Dolphins’ new head coach, Mike McDaniel, came over to Miami from the San Francisco 49ers where he worked with offensive guru and 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan. In fact, Shanahan and McDaniel’s connection goes back a year further as in Atlanta McDaniel worked under the future head coach as an offensive assistant before moving to San Francisco with Shanahan 2017.
On his weekly show, The Mike Tomlin Show, he talked about how the Dolphins use their run game in a running back committee style similar to the 49ers.
“They thoughtfully do running back by committee, but it doesn’t mean that their running game isn’t a significant one” Tomlin said, via the team’s YouTube channel.
