  • McDaniel recently interviewed for the Lions’ offensive coordinator position and the Titans’ head-coaching job, per reporter Jordan Schultz.
  • Tampa Bay dismissed offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard after a disappointing 2025 offense and has begun a broad search to fill the role.
  • The Eagles have been linked to McDaniel for their coordinator opening, and reports list the Falcons, Ravens, Browns, and Titans among teams considering him for head coach.
