Manusky was the Chargers' linebackers coach from 2002 until 2006, so he is familiar with some of the team’s players. The Chargers had the No. 1 ranked defense this season. The Chargers' defense flourished after Rivera took over for Ted Cottrell at mid-season in 2008.
Manusky will have the same position coaches that Rivera had. He is not expected to make too many scheme changes for the 3-4 units and promises to bring toughness to the unit.
“Hardcore. Relentless. Getting after people,” Manusky said of his defensive plan in a statement released by the team. “Shoot, they were No. 1 last year and hopefully we’ll just pick up where we were last year. I’m going to bring some new ideas but also continue the foundation that they’ve already had and just build on it. I think with the players that we have, the sky’s the limit.”
Manusky knows he is entering a good situation. Now, it’s his job to keep it good.
