Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said the team would spend their bye week “seeing everything” when it came to improving their offense and did not rule out a change involving offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel.
McDaniel was not fired, and he has not lost any of his primary job responsibilities. Harbaugh confirmed in a news conference Wednesday that McDaniel will continue to call the team’s offensive plays when they return to action against the Vikings on Sunday.
McDaniel’s future was in doubt because the offense was a disaster during the team’s 0-6 start. They’re averaging a league-worst 15 points per game while turning the ball over more often than any of the other 31 teams, so there’s plenty of room for improvement once the team gets back on the court.
The Vikings are a tough defense to play against when you’re trying to get an offense on track, but that’s the challenge McDaniel must meet for the Chargers to find their first win of the season.
