Gus Bradley Reportedly Agrees to Become Chargers Defensive Coordinator

The Los Angeles Chargers have reportedly found a new defensive coordinator in former Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Bradley's four-year stint with the Jaguars was a disaster. He posted a 14-48 record before he was fired with two games left in the 2016 season, leading to an uncomfortable flight home from Houston for the team. 

In addition to the Chargers' interest, Bradley had also interviewed for Washington's vacant defensive coordinator job.  

Despite Bradley's struggles as a head coach, he previously served as defensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks from 2009-12 and played a role in building the Legion of Boom unit that led the NFL with the fewest points allowed during the 2012 season. 

The Chargers do have good young talent on defense to build around, starting with defensive end Joey Bosa and cornerback Casey Hayward. It's an intriguing unit on paper for Bradley to work with.
