DeMarcus Covington will not become Chargers defensive coordinator, is set to stay with Patriots

DeMarcus Covington is 0-for-2 on defensive coordinator interviews this offseason. After previously missing out on the Arizona Cardinals’ gig he applied for, he also was unable to secure the position with the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Chargers instead announced Derrick Ansley as their new DC on Monday. Covington did also not receive any other position on the team’s new coaching staff.

As a result, it seems likely that the 33-year-old will stay with the New England Patriots in 2023.

Covington began his coaching career at the college level before making the move to the pros — and the Patriots — in 2017.
