Thursday, January 29, 2026-The Los Angeles Chargers have agreed to terms with Chris O’Leary, finalizing a major move for their defensive leadership as the organization continues to reshape its coaching staff. The agreement positions O’Leary to take over defensive responsibilities immediately, signaling urgency and clarity in the Chargers’ vision as they prepare for the upcoming season.
O’Leary arrives after a strong recent run as a defensive coordinator at the collegiate level, where his defenses were known for discipline, physicality, and situational effectiveness. The Chargers are betting on his ability to translate that success to the NFL, particularly in improving consistency, communication, and execution on the defensive side of the ball.
This move reflects the Chargers’ aggressive approach to growth and competitiveness, prioritizing structure and accountability as they aim to close the gap in the AFC. With terms now agreed upon, attention quickly shifts to implementation, as O’Leary steps into a role that could have an immediate and lasting impact on the team’s trajectory.
