When the Dolphins and 49ers play on Sunday, it will be the first time that Mike McDaniel and Kyle Shanahan face off as head coaches. McDaniel, who is in his first season as the Dolphins’ head coach, spent 16 seasons on the same coaching staff as Shanahan.
While McDaniel downplayed that there will be extra motivation between the two to win this week, he joked that he will be keeping the physicality to the players.
“I will not be undertaking any Oklahoma drills as well this week on the field with him,” he said, via Tom Dierberger of NBC Sports Bay Area.
