Jesse Minter is an awesome coach and his defenses were as good or even better than Mike MacDonald’s at Michigan despite not having Hutchinson and Ojabo at his disposal. Great hire (I think) for Chargers

Stoked about this move! Michigan's defense played fast, physical, and swarmed to the ball carrier. Jesse Minter will bring that Harbaugh toughness to the defense https://t.co/XBm3dglPdP

Jesse Minter is the best defensive coordinator I’ve ever seen at the college or NFL level.

Brilliant defensive mind with consistently flawless game plans and in-game adjustments. Truly a defensive genius.

He’ll be an NFL head coach soon. Chargers fans are going to love him.

Chargers hire offensive, defensive coordinators

The Chargers and Jim Harbaugh continue to fill out their coaching staff with the announcements of new offensive and defensive coordinators.

The Chargers and head coach Jim Harbaugh continue to fill out their coaching staff with the announcements of new offensive and defensive coordinators.

Los Angeles is hiring Greg Roman as their offensive coordinator and Jesse Minter as their defensive coordinator.

Roman was Harbaugh’s offensive coordinator with the 49ers from 2011 to 2014. He helped the team reach Super Bowl XLVII during the 2012 season.

Roman was most recently with the Ravens, where he served as the team’s tight ends coach in 2017 and 2018 before being promoted to offensive coordinator in 2019. He resigned after the 2022 season.

Minter was on Harbaugh’s staff at Michigan, where he led college football’s top-ranked defense in 2023. The Wolverines finished first in both scoring defense and yards allowed.

Minter has experience working for the Ravens as an assistant for two seasons. He worked his way up to defensive backs coach in 2020 before one season at Vanderbilt, where he was their defensive coordinator and safeties coach.

Giants request to interview Derrick Ansley for defensive coordinator vacancy

The Giants are eyeing Derrick Ansley to potentially fill their defensive coordinator vacancy.

The Giants have a defensive coordinator vacancy to fill after Wink Martindale resigned, and they are looking to bring in Chargers DC Derrick Ansley for an interview for the job.

Hired to oversee the defensive backs in 2021, Ansley held that role until this past season when he was promoted to defensive coordinator after Renaldo Hill left for a position with the Dolphins.

Brandon Staley called the defensive plays until he was fired in December. Ansley then became the primary play-caller for the last three games of the season. As a result, the defense looked sharper, finishing 16th in defensive EPA.

Ansley has spent most of his career in the college ranks as the defensive backs coach for Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama. He was the Raiders defensive backs coach in 2018. He returned to Tennessee as their defensive coordinator and DBs coach from 2019 to 2020.
