The Chargers on Tuesday hired Adam Fuller to be their new safeties coach, replacing Chris O’Leary, who was named the defensive coordinator and safeties coach at Western Michigan University.

Fuller spent the past five seasons as the defensive coordinator at Florida State.

O’Leary was with the Chargers for one season after spending six seasons in various defensive coaching roles at Notre Dame. The Chargers’ defense was the NFL’s stingiest during the 2024 regular season, giving up an average of 17.7 points per game en route to an 11-6 record.

Fuller coached 14 eventual NFL draft picks, including outside linebacker Jared Verse of the Rams, the NFL’s defensive rookie of the year for the 2024 season. The Seminoles, led by their defense, were 13-1 and won the Atlantic Coast Conference championship during the 2023 season.

What’s more, the Seminoles gave up just eight passing touchdowns in 2023.

This will be Fuller’s first job in the NFL.
