Chargers keep McDaniel calling plays despite winless start
Jim Harbaugh confirmed the offensive coordinator will call plays against the Rams. The Chargers are 0-6 and last in scoring.
Mike McDaniel will continue directing the Chargers’ offensive playcalling against the Rams, head coach Jim Harbaugh told a press conference. The offensive coordinator retains that responsibility as the team pursues its first win of the season.
Harbaugh had previously said he intended to examine every aspect of the offense during the bye week. At that point, he had not excluded the possibility of a change involving McDaniel, whose job came into question during the Chargers’ 0-6 start.
The Chargers average 15 points per game, putting them last in the league in scoring. They also turn the ball over more frequently than each of the other 31 teams. McDaniel has kept both his coordinator position and his playcalling duties.
