Chargers’ Offense Reportedly Struggles Under First-Year Coordinator
Mike McDaniel, a first-year offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers, is reportedly struggling, with the team's offense performing poorly and quarterback Justin Herbert regressing.
Tyler Longview, TX, October 23, 2026 —
Mike McDaniel, in his first year as offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers, is reportedly struggling as the team’s offense performs poorly and quarterback Justin Herbert is described as regressing.
The available information does not provide statistics or specific examples to show how the offense has performed, or how Herbert’s play has changed. It also does not identify who reported the assessment, when it was made, or what measures were used to describe the offense as poor and the quarterback as regressing.
The summary links the coordinator’s reported difficulties with the offense’s performance and Herbert’s reported regression, but it does not establish that one caused the other. No details are provided about the team’s record, individual games, coaching decisions, injuries, or the Chargers’ response. The information also does not say whether McDaniel or Herbert has commented.
As a result, the report offers a broad characterization rather than a detailed account of the situation. Further specifics would be needed to assess the scale or duration of the offensive struggles, identify any changes in the team’s approach, or determine how Herbert’s performance compares with an earlier period. No timeline for improvement or other next steps was provided.
