LA Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter received head coaching buzz after his first year in the NFL. His inexprience ultimately kept him from being a finalist for any one job, but his success in year one made him a name to watch in the coaching cycle in 2025.
Through seven games, especially after Sunday's back-breaking loss to the Indianapolis Colts, Minter may no longer be on the short list of head coach candidates. The Chargers turned in yet another disappointing defensive performance, shifting the focus from Minter's future away from the Chargers to fixing the problems that currently exist.
