As of the moment I am typing this up, the Chargers have reportedly requested to interview six coaches out of the reported “10-12” that Jim Trotter said the franchise plans on vetting before hiring their next head coach. Of those six coaches, only two of them are a defensive coordinator. So while it’s still early in the process, it’s safe to assume the Chargers want that next superstar playcaller who can take Justin Herbert’s extremely promising future and turn it into wins, playoff appearances, and maybe — just maybe — a Super Bowl victory.
The Chargers are expected to interview 10-12 candidates for their HC job.
