The Los Angeles Chargers promoted Derrick Ansley to defensive coordinator, one of a handful of coaching changes announced Monday.
Ansley, 41, spent the past two seasons in Los Angeles coaching the secondary, and the Chargers ranked fourth in the AFC in passing defense in that span.
Before joining the Chargers, Ansley was defensive coordinator/defensive backs coach at the University of Tennessee. He also coached defensive backs at Alabama from 2016-17, and the Crimson Tide ranked No. 1 in the nation in total defense and scoring defense in both seasons.
The Chargers also interviewed outside the organization before hiring Ansley.
