The Chargers have hired Greg Manusky as their new defensive coordinator. San Diego's former linebackers coach spent the last four seasons as San Francisco's defensive coordinator. He agreed to a two-year contract on Friday, three days after Ron Rivera was hired as Carolina's new head coach.

With Nnamdi Asomugha entering free agency, the Chargers have had internal discussions about pursuing the cornerback. San Diego is considered a longshot to sign Asomugha, who will likely be ranked first amongst available free agents.

Multiple opportunities have been created for former University of Pittsburgh head coach Dave Wannstedt, according to sources. Wannstedt is expected to talk to his former Cowboys counterpart and current Chargers head coach Norv Turner about succeeding former defensive coordinator Ron Rivera. Rivera was named Carolina's head coach on Tuesday. The Panthers, Browns and Bills are also interested in talking with Wannstedt.

The Panthers are expected to name Ron Rivera their newest head coach on Tuesday. Rivera is currently San Diego's defensive coordinator. Carolina was the ninth team with which Rivera has interviewed for a top job since 2006. He was Chicago's defensive coordinator from 2004 to 2008, when he took the same job with the Chargers.

Ron Rivera will have a second interview with the Panthers for their head coaching position, according to Peter King of Sports Illustrated. Rivera is currently the defensive coordinator in San Diego.
