Mike McDaniel’s next move looks set: former Dolphins HC headed for new role

The long-running saga surrounding Mike McDaniel and his immediate future in the NFL appears to be nearing its conclusion. Regarded as one of the sharpest young minds in the league, the former head coach of the Miami Dolphins is now seeking a new destination to continue his career after a spell in Florida that delivered both flashes of promise and moments of frustration.

With multiple interviews under way and solid offers reportedly on the table, McDaniel’s outlook is becoming increasingly clear. The countdown has begun, and everything points toward a move to the Los Angeles Chargers, the franchise led by the veteran Jim Harbaugh.

To the Chargers – as offensive coordinator

According to ESPN’s NFL reporter Jeff Darlington and Adam Schefter, McDaniel is close to joining the Chargers in the role of offensive coordinator. His reputation for scheming space and outsmarting defenses has long defined his coaching profile, which explains Harbaugh’s interest in adding him to the staff.

“Former Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel is expected to become the Chargers offensive coordinator barring a change of heart,” came the breaking news. “McDaniel has informed other teams that they’re out, the Chargers clearly want him, and the two sides are having dinner tonight. But the expectation across the league is that McDaniel will be staying in LA..

The hope behind the move is thatJustin Herbertwill finally receive the structural and creative support needed to thrive as a field general. In recent seasons, despite the quarterback’s undeniable talent, criticism often focused on the lack of imagination in the offensive approach around him. The prospect of McDaniel and Harbaugh exchanging ideas and applying them to a player of Herbert’s caliber isundeniably enticing.
