COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) -- The Los Angeles Chargers have hired Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Brian Staley as the team's head coach.
The Chargers made the decision Sunday after having a second interview with Staley. The interview was held a day after the Rams were eliminated from the playoffs with a 32-18 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
The 38-year old Staley was in demand with interviews also scheduled with the Houston Texans and Philadelphia Eagles.
Staley has been an NFL assistant for only four years.
