Former Miami Dolphins and New York Jets head coach Adam Gase is returning to the NFL as the Los Angeles Chargers’ pass game coordinator, multiple outlets reported Monday.
Gase, 47, has not worked in the NFL since the Jets fired him after a 2-14 season in 2020.
He went 23-25 with the Dolphins from 2016-18 and 9-23 with the Jets from 2019-20.
Last month, Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh hired another former Miami head coach, Mike McDaniel, to replace Greg Roman as offensive coordinator.
Gase rose to prominence as an offensive coordinator with the Denver Broncos (2013-14) and Chicago Bears (2015) before becoming a head coach.
He coached Denver’s wide receivers (2009-10) and quarterbacks (2011-12) before becoming the OC. He also spent time on the staffs of the San Francisco 49ers (2008) and Detroit Lions (2005-07) after starting his coaching career on Nick Saban’s staff at LSU (2000-02).
