Coaching changes in the NFL often lead to reunions, and new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel just orchestrated a hilarious one. After being let go by the Miami Dolphins this offseason, McDaniel joined Jim Harbaugh's staff in Los Angeles and immediately set his sights on a familiar target: fullback Alec Ingold.

Chargers General Manager Joe Hortiz recently revealed the unique recruiting pitch. "When Alec got released, [McDaniel] came down and planted a wanted poster right on the wall," Hortiz said with a laugh. "As soon as he was released, boom, there it is. I'm like 'OK. OK. OK. We'll get him.'"

It's a fitting move for a player who was a key piece of McDaniel's offense in Miami for four seasons. During their time together, Ingold earned a Pro Bowl nod and proved his versatility, contributing as both a blocker and a reliable pass-catcher out of the backfield.

Apparently, the "wanted poster" strategy is becoming McDaniel's signature move. Hortiz noted the coach used the same playful tactic to advocate for signing former Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell, joking that McDaniel now owes him the reward money.

This lighthearted story highlights the strong bonds formed between coaches and players, connections that often transcend team changes. For Ingold, landing with a coach who values his skill set so dramatically is a perfect fit for the next chapter of his career.
