In another move that is emphasizing the massive philosophical shift by the Chargers behind following the hiring of Brandon Staley as their head coach, the team is reportedly hiring Cody Cejda, Northwestern’s former Director of Football Operations, to be the Special Assistant to the Head Coach. The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman was the first with the report.
Cejda has held the role of DFP with the Wildcats for the past 10 years. According to Feldman, he’ll focus mainly on analytics with the Chargers, as well as “other aspects” with the team.
