The Chargers are wasting no time in reshaping their offensive identity.
On Friday, the team announced it had completed an interview with Brian Callahan for its offensive coordinator vacancy. Callahan, most recently the head coach of the Titans, is one of several candidates being considered as Los Angeles looks to reboot its offense under new head coach Jim Harbaugh.
Callahan’s tenure in Tennessee was a short and rocky one-he was let go after a 1-5 start this season and finished his time there with a 4-19 record. But before his stint with the Titans, Callahan served as offensive coordinator for the Bengals, where he helped oversee some high-powered seasons with Joe Burrow at the helm. That track record has kept him in the mix for other opportunities this offseason, including a recent interview with the Buccaneers for their own OC opening.
The Chargers, meanwhile, are in full evaluation mode. They’ve already parted ways with Greg Roman, who was brought in last year but couldn’t get the offense firing consistently. On Thursday, the team also interviewed Marcus Brady, their current passing game coordinator, as they weigh both internal and external options.
Harbaugh has made it clear: this search isn’t just about filling a vacancy-it’s about hitting the reset button. After a disappointing offensive showing against the Patriots last weekend, the message is simple. The Chargers want a fresh voice, a new vision, and someone who can help unlock the full potential of a roster that still boasts serious talent.
Expect more names to surface in the coming days, but with candidates like Callahan in the mix, the Chargers are clearly casting a wide net in their pursuit of the right fit to lead this offense into a new era.
