The winless Los Angeles Chargers are sticking with offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel as the team’s play-caller after a Week 7 bye, according to multiple reports. Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh confirms McDaniel will continue calling plays, despite ongoing concerns about the offense.
All outlets tie the decision to Harbaugh’s comments made Wednesday as the team returns from the bye. ESPN and Yahoo Sports report Harbaugh says McDaniel will remain in the role, while Newsweek frames the decision around whether play-calling might change at all. Yahoo Sports also notes Justin Herbert’s expected role alongside McDaniel, and The Athletic adds performance context.
While the decision is consistent across sources, the emphasis varies. Some coverage highlights Harbaugh’s firm endorsement, while others focus on the Chargers’ struggles this season or the fact the team will review its offensive approach during the bye week.
