The Los Angeles Chargers continue to play the waiting game with would-be offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel.
An odd week for the Chargers and Jim Harbaugh’s choice for Justin Herbert’s next coordinator took an odd turn when McDaniel was scheduled for, then cancelled a head-coaching interview with the Buffalo Bills.
After that, a new report revealed that McDaniel hasn’t actually signed a deal with the Chargers.
No need to panic, though. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, McDaniel remains expected to be the next offensive coordinator for the Chargers…
…unless McDaniel gets the head-coaching job with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Mike McDaniel in the running for Raiders head coach?
According to Rapoport, McDaniel remains “in the mix” for the head-coaching job with the Raiders.
“Mike McDaniel is expected to be the Chargers’ offensive coordinator,” Rapoport said. “Assuming he doesn’t get a head-coaching job. He has pulled out of some of these things, but is still in the mix for the Raiders.”
Those Raiders, though, want to speak with current Denver Broncos passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach Davis Webb, which means waiting until after the conference title games this weekend.
So…the Chargers are waiting on both the Raiders and the Broncos in the AFC West to find out if they will actually land McDaniel.
