The Miami Dolphins may be one step closer to making a hire for the team's next head coach.
Various insiders, including the NFL Network's Ian Rappaport, report the team had a second interview with San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel on Monday.
The 38-year-old was able to interview after the team's NFC Championship Game loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. McDaniel had previously stated he was focused on the 49ers' playoff run when asked about coaching opportunities.
The Yale graduate who played wide receiver for the Bulldogs, McDaniel has been coaching in the NFL since 2005, spending time with organizations including the Denver Broncos, Houston Texans, Washington Football Team and Cleveland Browns.
