The Los Angeles Chargers will continue with Mike McDaniel as their offensive coordinator and play-caller as the team heads into Week 8, despite an 0-6 record. Head coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed on Wednesday that McDaniel will retain his duties following the team's bye week.
"We’re very confident in Mike and his talent, work ethic and ability. And continue to be," Harbaugh told reporters. He also noted that he has never called plays himself during his coaching career.
The Chargers have not made significant changes to their struggling squad, which remains the NFL's only winless team. The team conducted an evaluation during the bye week and has opted to maintain its current offensive staff.
Despite the team's dismal performance, Harbaugh and his coaching staff maintain that the team is progressing each week. However, their upcoming matchup against the Rams on Sunday presents a significant challenge in their pursuit of their first victory of the season.
The Chargers' decision to maintain McDaniel's role comes after a difficult start to the season, with the team struggling to find offensive consistency and secure wins. The bye week provided an opportunity for reflection and evaluation, but the coaching staff has ultimately decided to stay the course with their current offensive leadership.
