Jim Harbaugh addresses Mike McDaniel job status after Chargers' 0-4 start
Where does Mike McDaniel’s job stand after dropping to 0-4? Jim Harbaugh answers.
The Los Angeles Chargers suffered a tough loss on Sunday, falling to Seattle 30-23 and dropping to a 0-4 record. Despite the offense's best performance of the season, the team struggled to secure a victory. Quarterback Justin Herbert and his coach, Mike McDaniel, faced questions about the team's struggling performance. However, head coach Jim Harbaugh assured reporters that McDaniel's position was secure.
"No, his job is not is not in jeopardy. He's a skilled coach, and we're going to keep growing," Harbaugh stated. McDaniel was hired to transform the offense and elevate Herbert's performance, but the Chargers' offense has underperformed so far. After three and a half games, the unit has been one of the least productive in the NFL, averaging only 14.7 points per game and ranking 30th in expected points added (EPA) per play at -0.21.
In the Week 4 defeat, Los Angeles ran more plays (68) than Seattle (58) and gained more total yards (301-286). However, four turnovers - two fumbles and two interceptions - were the difference-maker, with Seattle only committing one. The Chargers will aim to turn things around in their Week 5 matchup against the Broncos.
