The Chargers are expected to hire Max McCaffrey as their new running backs coach, according to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz. McCaffrey follows new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to Los Angeles, having served under him as an offensive assistant with the Dolphins for the past three seasons.
McCaffrey replaces Kiel McDonald, who will not return to the Chargers staff after two seasons.
Max is the oldest of the McCaffrey brothers, including three-time Pro Bowl running back Christian McCaffrey (49ers) and wide receiver Luke McCaffrey (Commanders). He is the son of three-time Super Bowl champion Ed McCaffrey.
Before joining the NFL coaching ranks in Miami, McCaffrey served as the offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach at the University of Northern Colorado (2020–2022).
