Chargers Expected to Hire Mike McDaniel as OC to Develop Justin Herbert

The Los Angeles Chargers are reportedly set to hire Mike McDaniel as offensive coordinator, with McDaniel choosing to work with quarterback Justin Herbert over other head coaching opportunities. McDaniel will be tasked with improving the offense and further developing Herbert, who had his most efficient season in 2024 (227.6 YPG, 23 TDs, 3 INTs) and a second Pro Bowl in 2025 (232.9 YPG, 26 TDs, 13 INTs) despite O-line injuries. The Chargers hope McDaniel, known for developing Tua Tagovailoa, can help Herbert lead them to Super Bowl contention.
