Pro Football Rumors
The Dolphins have not made it official Mike McDaniel will return for a fifth season as HC, but it certainly looks to be headed that way.
McDaniel said (via NFL.com’s Cameron Wolfe) he will be part of Miami’s GM search process. While the hire will not solely be McDaniel’s call, this provides a pretty clear indication which direction Dolphins ownership is leaning.
A GM who can work with McDaniel was not believed to be a Dolphins priority, but it would help if the organization indeed plans to keep its HC. The early makeup of the Dolphins’ search points to McDaniel having a great chance to stay. Three of the six interview slips Miami has sent out went to San Francisco execs — all of whom were with the 49ers during McDaniel’s tenure. Josh Williams, Tarik Ahmad and R.J. Gillen are among the names the Dolphins want to interview.
More to come.
