quarterbacks coach Pep Hamilton will interview for the open Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans' offensive coordinator positions, per Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Chargers rookie quarterback Justin Herbert notably excelled under Hamilton's tutelage, completing 66.6 percent of his passes for a rookie-record 31 touchdowns, 10 interceptions and 4,336 yards, another first-year-player record. Herbert, who added five rushing touchdowns, threw for 300 or more yards on eight occasions.
Football Outsiders ranked him eighth among qualified quarterbacks in DYAR (defense-adjusted yards above replacement). The Chargers' passing game notably ranked seventh in DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average) as well.
