Brandon Staley made a surprise move last week when he decided to move on from special teams coordinator Derius Swinton II after just one season. Swinton helped improve a special teams unit that has been one of the worst in the NFL over the past five seasons and turned it into a league-average group by finishing the 2021 season 18th in weighted DVOA.
On Tuesday, we heard about the first interview held by the team to replace Swinton via Gilbert Manzano of the OC Register. According to Manzano, the Chargers interviewed Giants special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey for the same position.
