Chargers plan to hire Mike McDaniel as offensive coordinator

NBC Sports general

Key Points:

  • Mike McDaniel has declined a second interview for the Browns' head-coaching position and is set to become the offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers.
  • Joining the Chargers allows McDaniel to work alongside coach Jim Harbaugh and quarterback Justin Herbert, positioning him for future head-coaching opportunities.
  • McDaniel previously served as head coach of the Miami Dolphins for four seasons, compiling a 35-33 regular-season record and 0-2 in the playoffs.
  • Despite this move, McDaniel has not signed a contract yet and remains a candidate for other head-coaching vacancies, including with the Ravens and Raiders.
