Will the Chargers make changes to the coaching staff? What Jim Harbaugh said

The Chargers overachieved people’s expectations this season, going 11-6 during the regular season and making the playoffs.

Despite the success Los Angeles had, some were already calling for a coaching change, specifically on the offensive side of the ball, with Greg Roman being viewed as the culprit.

On Wednesday, at his end-of-season exit interview, head coach Jim Harbaugh made it clear that no changes will be made.

Quarterback Justin Herbert has had four offensive play callers in the five seasons he’s been in LA, so continuity is one of the main factors. But Roman was never at risk of losing his job.

While Roman’s offense had flaws, he showed the willingness to adapt to the personnel at his disposal, which included a below-average interior offensive line and pass-catching group, with the exception of Ladd McConkey.

The Bolts’ offense finished 12th in scoring (23.0 points per game), 19th in passing (213.3 yards per game) and 20th in rushing (107.3 YPG).

Now that the Chargers will have plenty of cap space to spend in free agency and a handful of draft picks, they will be able to use it on the necessary pieces to put in place to create a formidable offense.
