“This Is a Lost Season” - Rich Eisen on What Changes Could be Coming to the 0-6 Chargers

Matt in Texas wants the Chargers rebuilt from top to bottom. Rich Eisen hears the caller out, but draws a firm line at one particular job: Jim Harbaugh's.

"You'll never hear me call for Jim's job. Like that'll never happen," Eisen says in a segment about Los Angeles opening the season without a win in six games. His assessment of offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's work is considerably less forgiving: "It's not working with Mike McDaniel. Just isn't. 0-6 is not the answer."

That distinction gives the discussion its edge. Harbaugh appears in press conference footage accepting responsibility and saying everything will be examined, starting with his own performance. Eisen then considers the offensive scheme's fit with Justin Herbert, the team's injuries and a schedule that leaves him calling the campaign a lost season.

The segment drew roughly 74,000 views in six hours, already well beyond the show's usual full-day audience of about 26,000 for regular videos. Its comment section was also more than twenty times as busy as a typical first day.

Viewers aren't discussing only who should go. Several focus on Herbert's protection, whether McDaniel can adapt around the offensive line and how repeated coordinator changes affect a quarterback. Others question whether replacing one coach would address the wider problems.

Eisen's discussion eventually reaches possible draft help, including receiver Jeremiah Smith. But the immediate question he and Chris Brockman debate is whether the Chargers change coaches during the season or wait until it ends.
