After a stint as head coach for the Miami Dolphins, Mike McDaniel is ready to begin life as the offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers.

According to many fans, the Chargers have not lived up to expectations these last couple of seasons. And with McDaniel now under Jim Harbaugh, there is a lot of optimism.
The team visited their former home, San Diego, for a recent practice. And McDaniel was feeling the vibes, which his quote from the pre-training press conference makes apparent.

“I’m really excited to be here. I’m not excited that I’m completely unprepared for an indoor press conference as I’m wearing sunglasses inside,” McDaniel said.
“I am prepared for practice, though, which I think is better news. And Ron Burgundy wasn’t lying. This place is sweet.”
