LA Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter is one of the hottest coaching names in the sport. After leading the Chargers to the No. 1 scoring defense in his first year in 2024, Minter is firmly one of the top head-coaching candidates for the 2026 season.
Schematically, Minter is already one of the best to do it on the defensive side. The defense he runs is simple for the defense to understand and difficult for the offense to get into a rhythm against. Whether it be his pressure packages or how he deploys the secondary, there are few holes in this Chargers' defense.
