The Chargers named John Pagano the team’s new defensive coordinator, replacing Greg Manusky, who was released earlier in the day. Pagano spent the last 10 seasons on San Diego’s staff and has coached linebackers since 2005. “John has worked extremely hard and been very patient to get this opportunity,” Head Coach Norv Turner said. “I’m excited about John’s experience with this defense, his familiarity with our team and where we can go with his direction.” “I think the No. 1 thing is that we come together as a defensive staff and we work together to get everybody going in one direction,” Pagano said. “Our primary goal is to win the AFC West, but the ultimate goal is to win a Super Bowl.” “We’re going to go out and play fundamentally sound defense,” Pagano said. “I’m very humbled and honored that they would consider me for the position,” Pagano said. “It’s something I’ve always dreamed about, being here 11 years in San Diego.”
