Overview
- The team confirmed the dismissals two days after a 16-3 loss to the Patriots and will retain assistant offensive line coach Nick Hardwick.
- In the wild-card defeat, Los Angeles managed 207 total yards, went 1-for-10 on third down and allowed six sacks, with just one offensive touchdown scored across its last two postseason games.
- Jim Harbaugh declined to endorse Roman postgame, saying the Chargers would evaluate everything before the team moved on from its offensive leaders.
- Protection issues plagued the season as starting tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt suffered season-ending injuries, Chargers quarterbacks were sacked 60 times, and the club used 29 different offensive line combinations.
- The organization has begun an offensive coordinator search following a year of declining scoring output, with defensive coordinator Jesse Minter also drawing head-coach interest around the league.
