Jim Harbaugh gives Mike McDaniel a vote of confidence

The Chargers offense ranks 20th, and quarterback Justin Herbert has three touchdowns and four interceptions and his passer rating of 73.4 ranks 26th.

Coach Jim Harbaugh expressed confidence in offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, despite the Los Angeles Chargers' offensive struggles. The team ranks last in the league in offensive efficiency, with quarterback Justin Herbert struggling with both scoring and turnovers. Harbaugh stated that the organization fully supports McDaniel's abilities, noting that the decision to hire the former Dolphins head coach was aimed at injecting dynamism into the offense.

While Harbaugh has publicly criticized Herbert's decision-making, he has not made the same remarks about McDaniel. The head coach emphasized the team's determination to find ways to gain an advantage and avoid repeat mistakes, highlighting the need for improved performance from the entire offense. Herbert acknowledged McDaniel's contributions, expressing hope that the team can turn their fortunes around through collective effort.
