Overview
- Baltimore announced Thursday that it finished a head-coach interview with Mike McDaniel as part of its ongoing search to replace John Harbaugh.
- McDaniel, 42, was dismissed by Miami after a 7–10 season, compiling a 35–33 record and earning praise for leading the NFL’s top offense in 2023.
- He has already interviewed for head-coach openings with the Falcons and Browns, with the Titans also reported to have met with him this week.
- ESPN’s Jeff Darlington reports McDaniel is open to returning as an offensive coordinator if head jobs close, with the Eagles, Lions, Buccaneers and Chargers showing varying interest.
- Analysts view his motion-heavy scheme as a potential fit to maximize Lamar Jackson, though no hiring decisions have been made.
