The Los Angeles Chargers are hiring Renaldo Hill as defensive coordinator, sources have confirmed.

Hill was most recently the defensive backs coach for the Denver Broncos.

A 10-year NFL veteran, Hill worked with new Chargers head coach Brandon Staley in Denver.

Philip Rivers has announced his retirement from the NFL after 17 seasons.

"It's just time," Rivers told the Union-Tribune. "It's just right."

Rivers played in 244 games, starting 240 of those contests.

The 39-year-old finishes his career ranked fifth all-time with 63,440 passing yards and 421 touchdown passes.

"I can sit here and say, 'I can still throw it. I love to play,'" Rivers said. "But that's always going to be there. I'm excited to go coach high school football."

The Los Angeles Chargers have agreed to hire Brandon Staley as head coach.

Staley served the past season as the Los Angeles Rams' defensive coordinator, developing the top-ranked defense in the NFL.

Staley replaces Anthony Lynn.

"It's hard to put into words just how excited I am for the opportunity to be the Los Angeles Chargers' Head Coach," Staley said in a statement. "While this is certainly a dream come true, it's also a dream that's just beginning. There's a reason this was probably the most sought after job out there -- from ownership, to the fans, to the city, to the men in that locker room -- it's the total package."

Staley has quickly risen through the NFL ranks since he first was hired as a position coach in 2017 with the Chicago Bears. He spent two seasons in Chicago under defensive coordinator Vic Fangio before he followed Fangio to the Denver Broncos, where he spent one season as outside linebackers coach before joining the Rams' staff.

The Los Angeles Chargers, Atlanta Falcons and Houston Texans have received permission to interview Joe Brady for their head coaching job.

Brady spent last season as offensive coordinator of the Carolina Panthers.

Brady was hired by Carolina last season after spending one season as LSU’s passing game coordinator. Brady previously worked for two seasons with the New Orleans Saints.

The Los Angeles Chargers have fired Anthony Lynn as head coach after four seasons.

Dean Spanos made the announcement Monday.

"This morning I informed Anthony Lynn that we have made the decision to part ways with him as our head coach. I'm not sure there is another person in this league more respected as a human being than Anthony, and I want to sincerely express my deepest gratitude for his leadership during a time of great change for our organization," Spanos said in a statement.

Lynn signed a one-year extension in the offseason, but went 7-9 with the Chargers this season
