McDaniel was hired by the Atlanta Falcons as their wide receivers coach under head coach Dan Quinn in 2016. McDaniel and the Falcons reached Super Bowl LI in the 2016 season where they fell to the New England Patriots in a 34–28 overtime defeat.
McDaniel was hired by the San Francisco 49ers as their run game coordinator under head coach Kyle Shanahan. On January 18, 2021, McDaniel was promoted to offensive coordinator, following the departure of passing game coordinator Mike LaFleur, who left to become the offensive coordinator for the New York Jets. The 49ers went 10-7 in 2021, and McDaniel’s innovative usage of third-year wide receiver Deebo Samuel in the team’s rushing attack led to Samuel being named a first-team All-Pro.
