Sources: The #Chargers are hiring Sean Spence as their new inside linebackers coach.

Spence, a former NFL player, most recently coached at Western Michigan and at the Senior Bowl. Under his guidance, Nadame Tucker led the country in sacks and TFLs this past season.

Sources: Western Michigan is promoting linebackers coach Greer Martini to defensive coordinator. He's a former Notre Dame captain and made the AFCA 35-under-35 list. He'll call the defense in 2026 for the defending MAC champions after the departure of Chris O'Leary to the NFL.

WMU is also promoting Seth Payne to co-defensive coordinator from defensive line coach. He had an NFL offer, but decided to stay at WMU. Cornerbacks coach Nick Coleman, another former ND player, is being promoted to pass game coordinator. He also had NFL and SEC interest.
