New offensive coordinators struggle across NFL

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 23 Oct, 21:09 · Archive

High-profile offensive coordinators in new roles are struggling in their first season.

Several high-profile offensive coordinators brought into new positions this season are struggling. The Los Angeles Chargers are 0-6 with the offense performing poorly and quarterback Justin Herbert regressing significantly under Mike McDaniel, who joined from Miami. The Tennessee Titans have the worst offense in the league under former Giants coach Brian Daboll, and quarterback Cam Ward has been inconsistent. The New York Jets rank 25th in yards and 27th in scoring under Frank Reich, formerly of the Indianapolis Colts.

The difficulties extend to many of the 21 new offensive coordinators across the league in the first six weeks. In Denver, Davis Webb lost play-calling duties to Broncos coach Sean Payton less than a month into the season. Philadelphia's Jalen Hurts had a slow start under Sean Mannion before being sidelined with blood clots. Sam Darnold has regressed under Brian Fleury after leading the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl last season, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been dismal in Zac Robinson's system.
