Something appears to be going on with the immediate coaching future of former Miami Dolphins Mike McDaniel.
And it may involve the Las Vegas Raiders.
In a curious move, NFL Media reported Tuesday afternoon that McDaniel has informed the Cleveland Browns that he is withdrawing from their head-coaching search, a day before he was scheduled to have an in-person interview.
McDaniel interviewed in-person with the Raiders’ brass in Miami on Monday before they went to see expected No.1 overall draft pick Fernando Mendoza and Indiana win the national championship. There is a chance the Raiders could soon hire the offensive-minded McDaniel to coach Mendoza.
McDaniel is also a candidate to be the Baltimore Ravens’ head coach and NFL Media reported he is meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers on Tuesday about their open offensive coordinator job and he reportedly also has offers for other offensive coordinator jobs. There has been rumors he could reunite with fellow former San Francisco 49ers assistant Robert Saleh on his staff with the Tennessee Titans.
Wherever it may be, it seems like McDaniel is about to land somewhere. Perhaps it will be Las Vegas.
