The Los Angeles Chargers interviewed former Stanford coach David Shaw and former Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel on Thursday.
Shaw was not a known candidate prior to Thursday and Vrabel has not been confirmed as a candidate by any other team.
Shaw was 96-54 in his 12 seasons as the head coach and coached Andrew Luck and Christian McCaffrey at Stanford. He did not coach last season.
According to reports, the Seattle Seahawks have “interest” in Vrabel, who was fired by Tennessee after the Titans finished 6-11 in the 2023 season and out of the playoffs for the second straight year.
The Titans were 54-45 in six seasons under Vrabel.
ESPN reported Thursday that the Atlanta Falcons also could meet with Vrabel.
The Chargers are seeking replacements for head coach Brandon Staley and general manager Tom Telesco, both of whom were fired on Dec. 15.
The Chargers announced interviews with the following coaching candidates: Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh; Todd Monken and Mike Macdonald, the offensive and defensive coordinators, respectively, of the Baltimore Ravens; San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks; Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan; and Leslie Frazier, who didn’t coach in the NFL this season but most recently was the defensive coordinator of the Buffalo Bills.
In addition to Vrabel, Harbaugh, Wilks and Frazier all have NFL head-coaching experience.
