Former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel was urged to take the offensive coordinator gig with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley is a front-runner for the Miami job, according to a Saturday afternoon report from Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley is the leading candidate to replace the fired Mike McDaniel, Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reported Saturday. No final decisions have been made, Pelissero tweeted, and Hafley has earned a second interview with four other NFL teams for their head-coaching openings.

Darren Waller said he was meeting with Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel just before team owner Stephen Ross entered and later fired the coach after a 7-10 finish.

On a podcast with former Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel, Darren Waller revealed just how fast that rug got pulled out from under McDaniel. According to the tight end, he was in the middle of a meeting when Dolphins owner Stephen Ross stopped it short to give McDaniel the boot.

For Tampa Bay, interviewing McDaniel would offer an opportunity to tap into that offensive creativity without the added responsibilities that come with a head coaching role, while also providing an opportunity to return to being a head coach in Tampa Bay as an heir apparent to Todd Bowles.

The latest news involving McDaniel, per multiple reports, include an interview for the Las Vegas Raiders head coach opening as well as an upcoming interview for the offensive coordinator job with the Los Angeles Chargers.
