The Miami Dolphins have requested to interview San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel for their vacant head coaching job, per NFL Media's Tom Pelissero.
McDaniel has been with the 49ers since Kyle Shanahan became the head coach in 2017. He started his time in Santa Clara as the run-game coordinator but was promoted to offensive coordinator on January 18, 2021.
Before his time with the 49ers, McDaniel worked with Shanahan in Houston, Washington, Cleveland, and Atlanta. He served as an offensive assistant with the Texans, an offensive assistant and receivers coach in Washington, and a receivers coach with the Browns. He was an offensive assistant under Shanahan, then an offensive coordinator, with the Falcons.
While Shanahan is the 49ers' game-day play-caller, McDaniel plays a big part in creating each week's game plan.

Mike Silver on how Deebo Samuel's contract might be the starting point for a Brandon Aiyuk extension
With the 2024 NFL Draft less than a week away, it's common for the rumor mill to start churning, especially with players who are actively seeking a new contract. It was just two short years ago that WR Deebo Samuel requested a trade from the San Francisco 49ers prior to draft day, only for cooler heads to prevail and eventually agree to a new deal.
Now, it's WR Brandon Aiyuk's turn to try and get paid and rumors surfaced over the weekend that he too would request to be dealt. While that report was quickly shot down by his agent, there's still a lot of discussion about Aiyuk's future and if other teams will come calling on draft night.
