SAN DIEGO (AP) — Frank Reich’s lack of experience as a coordinator isn’t a concern as he prepares to take over running the San Diego Chargers’ offense, general manager Tom Telesco said Wednesday.
Telesco noted that Reich, who was promoted from quarterbacks coach, had picked the plays during his days as a quarterback in the Buffalo Bills’ K-Gun offense.
The Chargers promoted Reich after Ken Whisenhunt left to become the head coach of the Tennessee Titans.
The Chargers’ offense, led by quarterback Philip Rivers’ stellar season, was among the reasons the team made the playoffs for the first time in four years.
