Former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is expected to become the Los Angeles Chargers new offensive coordinator barring a late change of heart, sources told ESPN’s Jeff Darlington and Adam Schefter.
The 42-year-old McDaniel has been courted by the Las Vegas Raiders, Baltimore Ravens, and Cleveland Browns for the head coach job this offseason. He reportedly informed the Browns earlier Tuesday that he was withdrawing from consideration for their vacancy.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Philadelphia Eagles each pursued McDaniel as their top OC target, per Darlington. The Bucs were diligent in their chase, but the opportunity to work with quarterback Justin Herbert was too appealing.
