Jesse Minter is arguably the hottest assistant coach on the NFL head coaching market. The Chargers’ defensive coordinator is widely expected to eventually become a head coach.
Jim Harbaugh brought Minter with him to L.A. in 2024 after he spent two seasons with him as Michigan’s defensive coordinator. This year, the 42-year-old did a masterful job—the Chargers ranked seventh in total defense (290.6 yards per game), eighth in points allowed (19.8 per game), and tied for sixth in EPA per play (-0.09).
