The Los Angeles Chargers hired Brandon Staley as the 17th head coach in franchise history, becoming the first Bolts head coach with a defensive background in over a decade. One of the most progressive minds in football, Staley brought an aggressive approach to the Chargers, leading the Bolts to a pair of winning seasons and a playoff berth in his first two years with the team. In those two seasons, Staley coached seven players to be selected to a combined eight Pro Bowls.
