Los Angeles — Mike McDaniel has agreed to become the Los Angeles Chargers' offensive coordinator. The Chargers announced the hiring Monday of McDaniel, who spent the past four seasons as the Dolphins' head coach. McDaniel was fired less than three weeks ago after going 35-33 at Miami, which missed the playoffs in the past two years.

McDaniel will be tasked with unlocking the full potential of quarterback Justin Herbert, who was the NFL’s ninth-leading passer during the 2025 season.

The Chargers continued their search for a new defensive coordinator by meeting with one of their current coaches.

Chargers struck gold when they drafted Oregon QB Justin Herbert in 2020. Could they strike again by going back to the Oregon well?
