Broncos:
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.
The Dolphins gave McDaniel a four-year contract, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
McDaniel’s hiring 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.
Vikings:
McDaniel, who identifies himself as multiracial, joins the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Mike Tomlin, Washington Commanders’ Ron Rivera and the New York Jets’ Robert Saleh as the league’s only minority head coaches.
The 49ers will receive two third-round draft selections (one in 2022 and another in ’23, per a league spokesman) as compensation under the Rooney Rule for developing a minority assistant who was hired for an NFL head-coaching job.
Parents:
Mike McDaniel is bi-racial – his father is black while his mother’s ethnicity is not in the public sphere. He grew up in Colorado with his mom Donna, who raised him as a single mother. Interestingly, when McDaniel worked with the Broncos he introduced his mom to then-Broncos video operations assistant Gary McCune. The pair eventually married.
McDaniel, 38, 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.
In that season, the 49ers had the league’s seventh-best offense in terms of yards per game and produced an All-Pro in wide receiver Deebo Samuel.
Head Coach:
McDaniel began his NFL career as an intern for the Denver Broncos in 2005, then spent three seasons as an offensive assistant with the Houston Texans under Gary Kubiak.
He spent another three seasons as an offensive assistant and a wide receivers coach for Washington — on a staff that included current head coaches Matt LaFleur of the Green Bay Packers, Sean McVay of the Los Angeles Rams and Kyle Shanahan of the 49ers.
