Another interview opportunity for Robert Saleh has opened up
Black Monday has carried over into Thursday, as coaching firings around the NFL continue. The most recent one is the most familiar. The Miami Dolphins fired former San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, who finished the season 7-10 after a 1-6 start. McDaniel inherited Tua Tagovailoa in his second year. He was already behind the 8-ball. Sticking with Tua proved to be the death knell for McDaniel.
McDaniel worked with 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan at several stops, including as an offensive assistant in Houston and Atlanta, as the wide receivers coach in Cleveland, and as the run game coordinator with the Niners before he was promoted to offensive coordinator.
After McDaniel’s recent firing, there are now eight jobs available:
Dolphins
Ravens
Giants
Titans
Falcons
Cardinals
Browns
Raiders
Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh has an interview scheduled for the Cardinals vacancy. It won’t be long until we hear about other interview requests for Saleh.
As for McDaniel, does he work his way back to the 49ers staff the same way Saleh did, or will he get a second chance as a head coach right away?
