Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh revealed what he told offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel when he tried to sell him on the offensive coordinator job ahead of the 2026 season.
Prior to Thursday's practice, Harbaugh appeared on the Herd with Colin Cowherd Show and said Justin Herbert is what sold McDaniel on the job.
"Justin Herbert," Harbaugh told Cowherd when he was asked what his sales pitch to McDaniel was.
"The same thing I got so excited about coming here to Los Angeles. When you look at the landscape for proven offensive minds, there were a lot of highly qualified coaches in this hiring cycle, and Mike was at the top of the list."
Harbaugh went on to say that the addition of McDaniel has been better than he thought so far through the first week of training camp.
