After a busy interview process, former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel has reportedly determined what his next step will be.

McDaniel is set to take over as offensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Chargers, according to multiple media reports Monday night.

Those reports emerged hours after news broke that McDaniel had removed himself from contention for the Cleveland Browns’ head-coaching vacancy ahead of an in-person interview Wednesday.

McDaniel was also viewed as a candidate for the OC positions with Philadelphia and Tampa Bay and was in consideration for head-coaching vacancies with the Baltimore Ravens and Las Vegas Raiders.

It’ll be a return to California for McDaniel after a brief but notable tenure as San Francisco’s offensive coordinator before taking the head coach job in Miami in 2022.

He achieved back-to-back playoff appearances with the Dolphins in his first two seasons. Over four seasons there, McDaniel posted a 35-33 record in the regular season and a 0-2 record in the postseason.

The Chargers’ interest comes after they dismissed Greg Roman following a wild-card loss. Los Angeles finished 12th in total offense (333.8 yards per game) and 20th in scoring offense (21.6 points) this season but once again struggled in the playoffs, losing 16-3 at New England in the wild-card round.

In two playoff games with Roman as offensive coordinator, the Chargers managed just one touchdown.
