Once the Chargers finally entered the 2023 offseason, they wasted little time before making some big changes to the coaching. Offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi and quarterbacks coach/passing game coordinator Shane Day were the first two coaches to be fired followed by linebackers coach Michael Wilhoite.
The Bolts are now searching for an offensive play-caller that will be able to consistently get the best out of his players on the field, which includes superstar quarterback Justin Herbert. Injuries to a number of players around him spelled notable regression for Herbert in 2022 but the third-year passer still managed to finish second in passing yards (4,739) behind only Patrick Mahomes (5,250).
