Mike McDaniel is set to become the Los Angeles Chargers\u2019 offensive coordinator. It was always a long shot that he would want to come here. Even if he believed in Cam Ward, the Tennessee Titans have no weapons on offense. Whoever ends up as the OC here is going to have an uphill battle to be successful in year one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I was hoping that, in addition to McDaniel and Saleh allegedly being friends, the idea of getting to be the head coach of the offense would be a draw for McDaniel here. In LA, he is going to have to work within the framework of what Jim Harbaugh wants to do on offense. It seems he would have more free rein here with Saleh.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">There are still plenty of good candidates for Saleh to choose from as his offensive coordinator with the Titans.
