ESPN • • general
Key Points:
- The Los Angeles Chargers are set to hire former Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel as their new offensive coordinator following the firing of Greg Roman after a disappointing playoff loss.
- McDaniel is known for his innovative offensive schemes, particularly his use of motions and condensed formations, which have been praised leaguewide and influenced other NFL coaches.
- During his tenure with the Dolphins, McDaniel significantly improved quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s performance and led Miami to top-10 finishes in total offense, including leading the NFL in total offense in 2023.
- Despite regular-season success, McDaniel’s Dolphins went 0-2 in the playoffs, and his offense declined toward the end of his tenure, resulting in his firing by Dolphins owner Stephen Ross.
