San Francisco run-game coordinator Mike McDaniel is being promoted.
McDaniel was promoted to offensive coordinator, Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Last season, the 49ers did not have an offensive coordinator, but instead split the job between passing game coordinator Mike LaFleur and McDaniel. McDaniel’s promotion comes after LaFleur left San Francisco to become the Jets’ offensive coordinator.
McDaniel, 37, has been with the 49ers since Kyle Shanahan became the head coach in 2017 and has worked with Shanahan on the teams in Atlanta, Cleveland and Washington.
