McDaniels was somewhat on the hot seat coming into this fall. Things clearly weren't going well this season, especially on the offensive side of the football.

Now that McDaniels has been officially fired, he can say that he made NFL history. However, it's not the type of history that a coach wants to make.

According to James Palmer of NFL Network, McDaniels is the first head coach in league history to be fired before the end of his second season for two different franchises.

Back in 2010, the Broncos fired McDaniels after a 3-9 start to the season.

James Palmer @JamesPalmerTV Josh McDaniels is the first head coach in NFL history to be fired before the end of his 2nd season for two different teams. McDaniels was fired by the #broncos after Week 13 in his 2nd season (2010) 7:55 PM · Nov 1, 2023

McDaniels has been very successful in the NFL as an offensive coordinator, there's no doubt about it. His track record as a head coach, however, is downright pitiful.

At this time, it's highly unlikely McDaniels ever receives another head coaching opportunity in the NFL. After all, it's not like he's earned it.
