The Chargers completed their head coach interview with Brian Callahan, the team announced on Tuesday.
Callahan finished his fifth season as the Bengals’ offensive coordinator, where he has engineered one of the top offenses in that timespan.
Before joining Cincinnati, Callahan was the Lions quarterbacks coach during the 2016 and 2017 seasons. Matthew Stafford threw for over 4,000 yards in both years. In 2018, he held the same role with the Raiders. Derek Carr also surpassed the 4,000-yard mark in passing.
Callahan joined the NFL ranks as an assistant in 2010 until 2015 with the Broncos.
Callahan’s coaching career began in 2006 at UCLA as a graduate assistant. He then worked with the wide receivers in 2007 before becoming the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Junipero Serra High School in San Mateo, CA.
