Mike McDaniel Makes Surprising Bills Decision That Impacts Chargers

The Los Angeles Chargers continue to wait and see whether Mike McDaniel will be Justin Herbert’s next offensive coordinator. 

Saturday morning, though, provided a small stunner on McDaniel’s status with the Buffalo Bills. 

According to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, McDaniel canceled his planned interview with the Bills for their head-coaching job.

Russini noted that McDaniel “is still expected to become the Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator if he is not hired for any of the league’s five remaining head-coaching vacancies.”

As of this writing, McDaniel’s only other serious brush with a head-coaching job has been with the Las Vegas Raiders. He previously canceled a meeting with the Cleveland Browns after getting to Los Angeles and meeting with Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers.
