Dolphins Hire 49ers OC Mike McDaniel to Replace Brian Flores as Head Coach

The Dolphins settled on 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel as their new head coach, replacing Brian Flores.  Oddsmakers had McDaniel at +150 odds.

Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore was the other finalist for the job.

McDaniel, who identifies as multiracial, joins the Pittsburgh Steelers' Mike Tomlin, Washington Commanders' Ron Rivera and the New York Jets' Robert Saleh as the league's only minority head coaches.  The 49ers will receive two third-round draft selections as compensation under the Rooney Rule for developing a minority assistant who was hired for an NFL head coaching job.

McDaniel will become the Dolphins' 11th head coach, interim or otherwise, since 2000.

The hiring comes following news that Flores has filed a racial-discrimination lawsuit against the NFL, the Dolphins, New York Giants and Denver Broncos.  That lawsuit also alleges that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross offered him $100,000 per loss during the 2019 season. Ross denied the accusation last week.

DR Congo has 1 point and likely needs a win to have a realistic shot at advancing as a third-place team. Uzbekistan has 0 points and must win to stay alive. A draw probably eliminates Uzbekistan and likely does very little for DR Congo.
