LOL, how did being a HC work out for the so called "genius"? Anyways, there is no way he comes back here, especially when there are a ton of OC openings out there that will allow him to call plays, something he will never get here as long as Kyle is the HC.

I don't get it either, he was called a "genius" by the media, acted like he was the guy who made the 49ers so good, then goes to Miami doesn't do much, gets canned yet still being called a genius, sorry but Kyle is the offensive genius, McDaniel is good, but he's not Kyle IMO.

He ain't coming here. Too many teams desperate for a young OC that know the Kyle Shanahan system. Buccaneers, Eagles, Lions and all the HC-less teams are all teams I can see him going too.

ugh, McDaniel going to Philly would be awful.

He's got some personal demons to overcome I think.
