Los Angeles Chargers Hire Michigan Wolverines Coach As DC

Here Is The Los Angeles Chargers Hire Michigan Wolverines Defensive Coordinator, Jesse Minter For The Same Position.

he Los Angeles Chargers hire former Michigan Wolverines defensive coordinator, Jesse Minter for the same position. New Chargers head coach, Jim Harbaugh is bringing his old buddy from Michigan to join him in the NFL. It’s a finalized deal as Minter says goodbye to Wolverine fans via a social media post. Minter will replace former defensive coordinator, Derrick Ansley who served only one year as the DC.

The 40-year-old coordinator helped guide the Wolverines to their first title in 26 years in his two-year tenure. Minter also has NFL experience, he spent some time with Jim Harbaugh’s brother, John, head coach of the Baltimore Ravens. He served as the defensive assistant from 2017-2018 and defensive backs coach in 2019-2020 with the Ravens. After Baltimore, he headed to Vanderbilt and then to Michigan.

He was also on the Philadelphia Eagles once for their defensive coordinator job. He has plenty of NFL experience, making him a great fit for the job with Los Angeles. There have always been rumors about Minter coming to the Chargers, but official now. They also filled their offensive coordinator position with former Ravens OC, Greg Roman.

Things are coming together rapidly in their coordinator positions. It’s starting to look like a college team, but these coaches have NFL experience. It’ll be interesting to see how Minter can change the defense around after a struggling year. The Chargers were 28th in the league in total defense and 30th against the pass.
