The Los Angeles Chargers are an absolute train wreck right now. They’ve limped out to a disastrous 0-6 start, and honestly, there’s just no other way to put it, this team is rudderless. Their offense, in particular, is shockingly bad. We’re talking woeful, completely lacking any sort of discernible, coherent identity, and even their star quarterback, Justin Herbert, looks utterly miserable trying to play in whatever scheme they’re running.
This Offense Is Broken
That miserable scheme? It’s all on first-year offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. His offense just isn’t clicking with the Chargers players at all, and you can see it on the field every single week. As the season spirals further and further down the drain, the idea of canning McDaniel to try and salvage *something*, anything positive, is becoming a super realistic possibility. I mean, what else are they gonna do?
Harbaugh’s “Everything” Comment Says It All
Head coach Jim Harbaugh’s recent comments about where the Chargers have gone wrong are practically screaming that McDaniel’s job security is tenuous at best. When asked directly about McDaniel’s play-calling, Harbaugh responded with, “We’re going to look at everything.” Oof. You hear that, right? That’s not exactly a vote of confidence. If that doesn’t scream “possible firing imminent,” then I don’t know what would. Harbaugh is absolutely right, though. The Chargers desperately need to change something because whatever they’re doing isn’t working. Getting rid of this broken offense, led by McDaniel, would be a totally logical first step, if only to change the energy in that building.
