Chargers Launch OC Search After Firing Greg Roman as Harbaugh Seeks 'Head Coach of the Offense'

Jim Harbaugh wants a 'head coach of the offense' to raise scoring around Justin Herbert.

Overview

  • Jim Harbaugh dismissed offensive coordinator Greg Roman and offensive line coach Mike Devlin days after a 16-3 wild-card loss to the Patriots.
  • Los Angeles has begun a wide-ranging search with no set timeline and has interviewed passing game coordinator Marcus Brady.
  • Harbaugh said the next hire must be a strong leader who can install a physical, productive attack and function as the offense’s head coach.
  • Justin Herbert will not be involved in the hiring process as the team seeks to better support him after a season with 54 sacks and major tackle injuries to Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt.
  • Linebackers coach NaVorro Bowman is stepping away, and defensive coordinator Jesse Minter has interviewed for head-coaching jobs as the team prepares for possible further staff turnover.
