ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that former Chargers head coach Brandon Staley is a “leading candidate” to become New Orleans’ defensive coordinator on Moore’s staff. Staley was hired as Los Angeles’ head coach back in 2021 after overseeing the league’s best defense when he was the Rams’ defensive coordinator in 2020.

Fuller replaces Chris O'Leary, who left the Chargers to become the defensive coordinator and safeties coach at Western Michigan.

The Chargers hired Adam Fuller as safeties coach, the team announced Tuesday. Fuller has 27 years of coaching experience after spending the past five seasons as defensive coordinator at Florida State (2020-24).

Fuller spent five years in the defensive coordinator role from 2020-24 before being fired prior to the conclusion of a disastrous 2-10 season. The team's struggles also led to offensive coordinator Alex Atkins and wide receivers coach Ron Dugans, along with other staffers, searching for new jobs.
