Report: Chargers to Hire Rams Defensive Coordinator Brandon Staley as New Coach

The Los Angeles Chargers are set to hire Rams defensive coordinator Brandon Staley as their next head coach, according to ESPN's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero. The team confirmed the move Sunday night.

Staley, who has been coaching for the last 14 years, has held positions for the Bears and Broncos before masterminding the No. 1 defense in the NFL in 2020. This will be his first head coaching position.

Staley, 38, was with the Rams for one year and has only been coaching in the NFL for the last three years after joining the Bears in 2017 from John Carroll University.
