New offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel brings a different vibe to Chargers on and off field
Mike McDaniel introduces a speed-based scheme to elevate the Chargers' 12th-ranked offense and help Justin Herbert avoid sacks.
- Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh hired offensive coordinator McDaniel less than three weeks after his four-year run with the Dolphins ended, bringing speed-based schemes to the team's offense.
