Jim Harbaugh gives awkward answer about Mike McDaniel’s job security

Through four games this season, Herbert has completed just 59.7% of his passes with six interceptions and 12 sacks taken. Los Angeles’ 16.8 points per game is the fourth-lowest mark in the NFL.

It’s clearly been an adjustment for the Chargers under McDaniel — but Harbaugh, after a long pause, denied that his offensive coordinator would be let go.

A reporter asked Harbaugh if McDaniel’s role could be «in jeopardy,» to which he initially replied: «Like our players, and we have skilled coaches. We’re gonna keep growing.»
