On Thursday afternoon, the Chargers announced that they had completed an interview with former Stanford head coach David Shaw for their head coach vacancy. The interview of Shaw actually completes the requirements for the Rooney Rule which means the Chargers are allowed to hire their next head coach whenever they please.
Shaw might be an intriguing name for fans to hear not only for his obvious ties to Jim Harbaugh, but also that he’s been out of coaching for multiple years and his name likely wasn’t on anyone’s short list of who would be making the interview rounds this offseason.
