Miami Dolphins hire San Francisco 49ers OC Mike McDaniel as new head coach

The Dolphins have agreed to a deal with San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to make him their next head coach, the team announced Sunday.

McDaniel's hearing marks the end of a nearly month-long search since the Dolphins fired Brian Flores on Jan. 10.

Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore was the other finalist for the job.

McDaniel gets his first head-coaching job at any level after spending 15 seasons in the NFL and two in the UFL. He spent one season as San Francisco's offensive coordinator after being promoted in January 2021.
