Former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel to interview for Bucs coordinator job

Mike McDaniel interviews for Buccaneers OC job Friday after being fired by Dolphins; Bucs seek to improve offense following firing of Josh Grizzard.

  • On Friday, former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is scheduled to interview with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for their offensive coordinator job in an in-person meeting during the hiring cycle.
  • The vacancy exists because the Buccaneers fired Josh Grizzard after one season, and McDaniel is available after being dismissed by the Dolphins on January 8.
  • McDaniel's resume shows limited previous OC experience, having been the 49ers' coordinator in 2021 after 15 seasons as an NFL assistant, and he already knows the Tampa Bay facility from last year's joint camp.
  • Multiple teams are pursuing Mike McDaniel, who is interviewing for head-coach and OC roles with the Browns, Falcons, Titans, Ravens, and Lions, so Tampa Bay must offer enough to land him.
  • The Bucs' recent coordinator turnover and 2025 struggles make this hire pivotal for Todd Bowles this coming year, as Tampa Bay has favored young coordinators but may seek more experience and McDaniel prefers strong OC offers over lesser head-coach vacancies.
