Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter will receive interview requests eventually. Per several national reporters at this point, Minter will have no shortage of interest in the 2026 head coach interview circuit.
The reality of the modern NFL is that coordinators have to balance their current job while keeping a close eye to the future. Perhaps there was no better example of that than last offseason when Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore completed a Super Bowl run before accepting the Saints job.
As the Chargers get set for their first playoff game, the 2026 cycle will probably lurk in the back of Minter's mind.
