On Tuesday, ESPN insider Adam Schefter reported that Mike McDaniel is expected to become the Los Angeles Chargers’ offensive coordinator.

McDaniel has informed other teams that they’re out, the Chargers clearly want him, and the two sides are having dinner tonight. But the expectation across the league is that McDaniel will be staying in LA.”Soon after that post went live on Tuesday night, Tyreek Hill shared his own reaction on X. He wrote, “Mike to the chargers hm.” The short message was simple, but many fans took it as a sign that Tyreek Hill liked the idea of Mike McDaniel working in Los Angeles.If the move becomes official, Mike McDaniel would be joining Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. The pairing would give Los Angeles one of the league’s most creative offensive minds working with one of its strongest young passers.Mike McDaniel first became Tyreek Hill’s head coach in 2022, when the Miami Dolphins hired McDaniel and traded for Hill from the Kansas City Chiefs. That same year, Tyreek Hill had one of the best seasons of his career. He finished with over 1,700 receiving yards and was one of the most feared receivers in the NFL.Tyreek Hill followed that up with another huge season in 2023, again passing 1,700 receiving yards under Mike McDaniel’s offense.

Now, with Mike McDaniel heading toward Los Angeles, Tyreek Hill’s latest post has opened the door to another possible reunion story.
