Jim Harbaugh isn’t the only former Stanford football coach the Los Angeles Chargers have interviewed.
The Chargers had an in-person interview with David Shaw, the team announced Thursday.
Shaw previously coached at Stanford from 2011-2022. He replaced Harbaugh at the university in 2011 when Harbaugh left to be the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers. Shaw was also the offensive coordinator under Harbaugh at University of San Diego (2006) and Stanford (2007-2010).
The Chargers interviewed Harbaugh for their head coaching vacancy earlier this week.
Shaw, 51, also has experience as an offensive quality control coach with the Philadelphia Eagles (2007) and Raiders (1998–2000), in addition to being Raiders quarterbacks coach (2001) and serving on the Baltimore Ravens coaching staff (2002–2005).

This is the second known NFL interview in as many seasons for Shaw. He interviewed for the Denver Broncos head coaching job last year before the team hired Sean Payton.
Shaw compiled a 96-54 record in 12 seasons at Stanford. He is the winningest head coach in program history. He guided the Cardinal to three Pac-12 conference titles and two Rose Bowl wins during his tenure.
The Chargers are in the midst of an expansive head coaching and general manager search following the December firings of head coach Brandon Staley and general manager Tom Telesco. The Chargers also interviewed former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel on Thursday, the team announced. Former Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier and former Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks are two of the other experienced coaches the Chargers have interviewed.
The team has also interviewed offensive and defensive coordinators such as Cincinnati Bengals OC Brian Callahan and Ravens DC Mike Macdonald, among others.
