Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's job is not in jeopardy, Adam Schefter reported.
Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter): Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh said OC Mike McDaniel’s job is “not in jeopardy”.
The statement comes as the Chargers sit at 0-4 after Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. McDaniel has been under scrutiny during the winless start, and Harbaugh's public backing addresses the speculation directly.
Harbaugh's comments are the first clear signal from the coaching staff about McDaniel's standing. The report does not include any further detail on the offense's direction or changes under consideration.
The 0-4 start has put pressure on the Chargers' staff, and Harbaugh's support of McDaniel sets the immediate expectation that the coordinator will remain in place. Any further decision would come from the team, which has not announced a change.
