'Growing buzz' Mike McDaniel could be out as Chargers coordinator

Key Points:

• Mike McDaniel, the Los Angeles Chargers' offensive coordinator, is reportedly at risk of being fired as the team struggles with the league's worst offense, ranking 32nd in DVOA and averaging only 15 points per game.
• The Chargers failed to score a touchdown in a recent 22-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, intensifying speculation about McDaniel's job security, with former Jets head coach Adam Gase expected to potentially take over play-calling duties.
• Head coach Jim Harbaugh acknowledged the need to address offensive issues and indicated that the coaching staff will review the situation, emphasizing the importance of translating effort in practice into game performance.
• McDaniel, who previously served as the Miami Dolphins head coach until last offseason, has struggled to replicate his prior offensive success with the Chargers, whose offense is currently averaging 4.6 yards per play compared to Miami's top-three ranking under his leadership.
• The Chargers' offensive woes include a weak running game and quarterback Justin Herbert's poor performance, marked by leading the NFL in interceptions and a low completion rate of 59.4 percent, contributing to the team's 0-6 record.
