Chargers plan extensive search for offensive coordinator who can help them get elusive playoff win
Chargers seek a flexible offensive coordinator with autonomy to enhance Justin Herbert’s skills and secure the franchise’s first playoff win, with Herbert 0-3 in postseason games.
- On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Chargers fired offensive coordinator Greg Roman and opened a search framed as a renovation, with Joe Hortiz and Jim Harbaugh saying they will consider varied candidates.
- After a 16-3 AFC wild-card loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday, Justin Herbert, quarterback, was sacked six times and hit 11 times, prompting the staff change due to postseason struggles.
- Conducting interviews, Jim Harbaugh, Joe Hortiz and Chad Alexander are leading the search, with Harbaugh seeking `a head coach of the offense` to maximize Justin Herbert's ability.
- There is no set timeline to hire a new offensive coordinator, team officials said, though Jesse Minter's possible exit could add urgency amid Mike Devlin's firing and NaVorro Bowman's departure Tuesday.
- While Jim Harbaugh has favored a smash‑mouth identity, the club signaled openness to change and expressed confidence Justin Herbert can break through with the right structure; Jesse Minter’s defense twice ranked in the top nine in points allowed.
