Jim Harbaugh retains Mike McDaniel as Chargers' OC during 0-6 start
Summary

The Los Angeles Chargers are struggling with a 0-6 record under head coach Jim Harbaugh, marking their worst start in 26 years. Despite the team's last-place ranking in scoring offense and quarterback Justin Herbert's difficulties, Harbaugh has reaffirmed his support for offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, who will continue in his role after the team's bye week. Fans have expressed dissatisfaction with this decision, suggesting it indicates a need for change. Additionally, safety Derwin James Jr. is set to be placed on injured reserve due to a hamstring setback, which means he will miss at least four more games. The Chargers are preparing to face the Los Angeles Rams this coming Sunday.
