His offensive system is fast and confusing for defenses. He was taking on far too much by calling his own plays, something a team may not want him doing if they talk with him about an HC job.<\/p>\n<p>The Raiders, Titans, Browns, Ravens, Giants, Falcons, and Cardinals are all looking for new head coaches. It is likely that McDaniel will get a call from at least one of those teams, but it is still hard to imagine him not having to take an OC job for a few more years to gain a real foothold on another HC job.<\/p>\n<p>In Detroit, McDaniel would be lethal with an arsenal that includes Amon-Ra Saint Brown, Jared Goff, and Jhamyr Gibbs. Given his propensity for calling complex plays, McDaniel could potentially be what the Lions need to make a real run at a Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<p>Another team to watch that we discussed earlier is Washington. McDaniel has close personal ties to Dan Quinn. For now, the fact that the Lions were the first to reach out shows how much they missed Ben Johnson this past season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Miami Dolphins v New England Patriots &#8211; NFL 2025 | Kathryn Riley\/GettyImages The Miami Dolphins made their decision on Mike McDaniel&#8217;s future two days after the&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":137207,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-137206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
