The Chargers completed their head coach interview with David Shaw, the team announced on Thursday.
Shaw, 51, previously was Stanford’s head coach from 2011 to 2022, overtaking Jim Harbaugh when he left the school to become the head coach of the 49ers in 2011.
In 12 seasons at Stanford, Shaw had a 96-54 record. He had three Pac-12 conference titles and two Rose Bowl wins.
Shaw and Harbaugh have ties that go back to 2006. That year, Shaw was Harbaugh’s offensive coordinator at the University of San Diego. In 2007, Shaw followed Harbaugh to Stanford in the same role until 2010.
Shaw has NFL experience, working as a quality control coach with the Raiders and Eagles. He’s also been the quarterbacks coach with the Raiders and QBs and wide receivers coach with the Ravens.
Before his time in the NFL, Shaw was an outside linebackers coach and tight ends coach at Western Washington.
