As the Chargers look to fill their offensive coordinator vacancy, they have requested permission to interview Vikings assistant quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson, according to CBS Sport’s Jonathan Jones.
Johnson’s career as a coach began in 2017 when he was a part of the Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship with the 49ers. In 2019, he resumed the same role with the Colts. In 2020 and 2021, Johnson was an offensive quality control coach with Indianapolis.
This season, Johnson joined the Vikings as the assistant quarterbacks coach, where he helped Kirk Cousins amass the most passing yards of his career (4,547) en route to a 13-4 Minnesota record.
Los Angeles has also requested an interview with Rams passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach Zac Robinson.
