The Los Angeles Chargers have ranked in the top 10 of the NFL defensive rankings in nearly every category for the last two seasons. Doing so without major “big name” talents on the defensive side of the ball.
Much of the credit for the defensive success the Chargers have had over the past two years under the Jim Harbaugh regime goes to defensive coordinator Jesse Minter. An up-coming defensive mind who is the son of the legendary coach, Rick Minter.

J. Minter is being rewarded for his abilities as a coach, as he is getting multiple interviews to become a team’s future head coach. However, at times, getting an interview or two is not nearly enough to impress NFL owners to hire you as the next leader of their billion-dollar franchise.
Minter is seemingly doing more than enough to keep his name in the competitive races he is in as a future head coaching candidate. A recent update to Minter’s status for an AFC North team shines a light on the Chargers to recognize that their beloved defensive coordinator is likely gone.
