Derrick Foster will tutor the Chargers' running backs group, having spent the last three seasons at the University of Iowa (2018-20). Last season, under Foster's mentorship, Tyler Goodson was named first-team All-Big Ten by both the media and the conference's coaches. Prior to his three years in Iowa City, Foster served two seasons as the run game coordinator/running backs coach at Samford University (2016-17), following a three-year stretch at Northwestern State University (2013-15). After his playing career at Southwest Baptist University, Foster entered the coaching ranks in 2011 as an offensive assistant coach, primarily working with the wide receivers, at Valdosta State University, before helping to guide the running backs group at the University of Tennessee in 2012.
