Interim head coach Giff Smith becomes first candidate to interview for Chargers' opening
Giff Smith, who served as the Los Angeles Chargers interim coach for the final three games, and offensive coordinator Kellen Moore became the first candidates to interview for the head coaching position. Under the new interview process approved by owners in October, any internal candidates or someone not currently employed by the NFL can interview in person. Smith lost all three games as the interim after Brandon Staley and general manager Tom Telesco were fired on Dec. 15.
