The Miami Dolphins made the decision to part ways with head coach Brian Flores earlier this year, and it looks as though the vacancy at the position could soon be filled.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Dolphins are zeroing in on hiring San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel:

New #Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel, who is multiracial, is the first minority head coach hired in this cycle — replacing Brian Flores, who filed a class action lawsuit last week regarding a lack of diversity in hiring.
The #49ers will receive two third-round compensatory picks.
