Shane Day assists Mike McDaniel with Justin Herbert and Chargers offense

Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel is relying on quarterbacks coach Shane Day to help implement the team's offensive scheme for the 2026 season. McDaniel credited Day for his role in accelerating the coaching staff's teaching process during his transition to the organization. Day, who serves as the passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach, previously worked with the team during the 2021 and 2022 seasons. He is considered a primary mentor for Justin Herbert, having guided the quarterback to two Pro Bowl selections through work on deep-passing mechanics and coverage reads. Herbert specifically requested Day's return to the staff following his stint with the Texans in 2023. As the season begins, the collaborative efforts between McDaniel and Day aim to support Herbert in meeting team expectations.
