Chargers to interview Titans TEs coach Luke Steckel for OC job

The #Chargers will interview #Titans TE coach Luke Steckel for their offensive coordinator job this week, per sources.

Steckel is a fascinating name. He’s 37, a Princeton grad, highly intelligent and widely respected by players and peers. The next Ben Johnson?

Tennessee Titans tight ends coach Luke Steckel is reportedly a candidate for the offensive coordinator job of the Los Angeles Chargers.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Chargers are set to interview Steckel sometime this week for their offensive coordinator vacancy, but an exact date was not given.

Steckel has been with the Titans for 10 seasons, with nine of them coming as an assistant. He was promoted to tight ends coach from offensive assistant in 2021 after Todd Downing was promoted to offensive coordinator.

Steckel’s biggest accomplishment in his short time as a position coach has to be tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo, who was the best rookie tight end in the NFL in 2022.

The Titans are in the market for their own offensive coordinator, so it’ll be interesting to see if Steckel will get an interview. Tennessee has interviewed one in-house candidate in passing game coordinator Tim Kelly.

They have also requested interviews with the Kansas City Chiefs’ Eric Bieniemy and Matt Nagy, and the Atlanta Falcons’ Charles London.
