After being fired by the Miami Dolphins<\/a> following another tough season, coach Mike McDaniel is expected to be one of the hottest names on the coaching market.<\/p>\n

Within 12 hours after his firing, McDaniel had already reportedly been contacted about the job as the Detroit Lions<\/a>‘ offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n

But there’s still multiple teams who are interested in his services in charge of a team.<\/p>\n

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Cleveland Browns<\/a>, Atlanta Falcons<\/a>, Baltimore Ravens<\/a> and Tennessee<\/a> Titans have all lined up interviews for McDaniel.<\/p>\n

NFL.com says that McDaniel’s interview with the Falcons has already been completed while the Ravens, Browns and Titans interviews have been scheduled.<\/p>\n

The 42-year-old McDaniel compiled a 35-33 record while with the Dolphins.<\/p>\n

McDaniel went 35-33 in his regular season tenue, losing both his playoff appearances as well<\/p>\n

Across his four seasons in south Florida, McDaniel led the Dolphins to just two playoff appearances – both ending in losses.<\/p>\n

The first came after quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and Teddy Bridgewater both suffered season-ending injury – forcing McDaniel to turn to rookie Skylar Thompson in a freezing 34-31 loss to the Buffalo Bills.<\/p>\n

In 2023, the Dolphins once again played in the cold against the Kansas City Chiefs. During one of the most frigid games in NFL history, Miami lost 26-7.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They then proceeded to miss the playoffs in both 2024 and 2025 – going 8-9 and 7-10 in both those respective seasons.<\/p>\n
