Chargers Hire Adam Gase as Passing-Game Assistant After Five-Year NFL Hiatus

The move places the former Dolphins/Jets head coach inside Jim Harbaugh’s revamped offense under new coordinator Mike McDaniel.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Gase is joining Los Angeles to work on the passing game under Harbaugh and McDaniel, with the exact title not yet publicly finalized.
  • It is Gase’s first NFL coaching role since the Jets dismissed him after the 2020 season, ending a five-year absence from the league.
  • Gase is expected to work closely with quarterback Justin Herbert as the Chargers seek fixes for late-season and postseason offensive struggles.
  • The addition extends a broader staff overhaul that replaced offensive coordinator Greg Roman with McDaniel and followed Jesse Minter’s exit to the Ravens’ head-coaching job, with Chris O’Leary installed as defensive coordinator.
  • Further offensive staff moves are in progress, with former Dolphins assistant Chandler Henley expected to join McDaniel’s group, according to reporting by CBS Sports.
