The Facts:
Always the favorite -- for his experience as a play caller and his experience with the Chargers, as well as his aggressive philosophy -- Greg Manusky has reached an agreement to be the Chargers' DC.
Reported by the San Diego Union-Tribune
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Manusky, 44, spent the past four years as the San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator, including the past two seasons actually calling plays for their 3-4 defense, the same system the Chargers run. Manusky spent 2002-06 coaching the Chargers linebackers. The Chargers wanted to retain Manusky after the 2006 season but lost him during the uncertainty before Marty Schottenheimer was fired. Manusky replaces Ron Rivera who was hired as head coach of the Panthers earlier this week. Manusky aside, the team plans on retaining its entire defensive staff.
