If Kubiak leaves, we might have the most attractive opening for OC
33 comments
Mike Macdonald and Mike McDaniel. I’m sure things won’t get confusing.
If KK is offered a HC position, why wouldn’t we assume McDaniel would get offers?
Mhmmmm very nice
Would be awesome but he’ll almost certainly get a HC gig
He’s probably going to be gone by the time kubiak is hired off, unless we lose next week
Mike & Mike lfg get after it
Someone made a great argument that Stefanski could also be a good candidate for OC.
Honestly the Hawks are in a great position.
I don’t see the hype on Kubiak. This is his first winning season as an OC and that probably wouldn’t be the case with a different defence.
Mike McDaniel and his quirkiness would fit in so perfectly in Seattle and be a good match with MacDonald lol
#TeamMike I’m here for it!!!
I don’t think McDaniel will be unemployed for long. I see him doing wonders for that ATL offense and being their HC. All he needs is a QB to make simple reads and hit targets on time and Kirk can do that still.
That is true and from the little I know, McDaniel also runs the ball a lot.
I feel like McDaniel to Arizona is a very real possibility.
The best reason to make Mike McDaniel OC would be to make Dan Soder root for the Seahawks.
This would be hilarious because McDaniel is really good friends with comedian Dan Soder and Dan is a diehard niners fan.
I don’t see Mike McDaniel and Maconald vibing together.
I don’t see Macdonald liking McDaniel very different personalities I just don’t see this happening
It pretty easy to say Detroit has the most attractive opening for OC.
Eminem
Al Michaels nightmare scenario.
Can we just keep kubiak and wish mcdaniels luck?

Long live the Mike McDouble Era. Badababa I’m lovin it
Ravens would be a big threat if they hire a defensive candidate like Minter and paired the OC opening with him and a 2x MVP QB.
It’s the Mike and Mike show.
This is… the plot to Remember the Titans?
I’d be surprised, I don’t think McDaniel is a culture fit for us
Commanders or Detroit seem more likely landing spots
That’d be sweet but I’d bet McDaniel is going to be every team’s #2 choice after Harbaugh
On the plus side, with so many of these surprise high-profile coaches getting let go, maybe it means the options Kubiak would be left looking at (like the Browns or Giants) would look less attractive
How would Mike McDaniel be a good fit as coordinator if Kubiak leaves next season?
McDaniel will easily get a HC job imo. So unless he’s passionate about downgrading and being just OC, I don’t see that happening
Hey! Mr. McD!
Yeah that would be great but I’d be surprised if McDaniel doesn’t get picked up as a HC for another team

(Dolphins are #11 in Rush Pct, and I understand they have Achane.)
