Herbert Under Scrutiny as Chargers Seek New OC for 2026 Bounce-Back

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert continues to face significant scrutiny for his playoff performance, having yet to secure a victory with 'unsightly' postseason statistics. The Chargers recently fired offensive coordinator Greg Roman, whose scheme was less to blame than an injury-wrecked offensive line that saw LT Rashawn Slater and RT Joe Alt suffer season-ending injuries, leading to Herbert being pressured on a league-high 43.6% of his dropbacks. The team is actively seeking a new offensive play caller to uplift Herbert and the offense, which is viewed as a prime bounce-back candidate for 2026 with a potentially healthier O-line and new weapons.
