The Los Angeles Chargers agreed to terms with former Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley to be their defensive coordinator, according to multiple reports Saturday.

Bradley, 50, was fired by the Jaguars in December with two games left in his fourth season.

Bradley interviewed with the Chargers earlier this week and was linked as a coordinator candidate with the Washington Redskins and San Francisco 49ers.

Bradley finished 14-48 in three-plus seasons with the Jaguars. He spent four seasons as defensive coordinator with the Seattle Seahawks (2009-12) and began his NFL coaching career as a defensive quality control assistant with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2006. Bradley worked two seasons as linebackers coach with the Bucs.

Just hours after the Chargers announced last week they were moving from San Diego to Los Angeles, they selected former Buffalo Bills interim head coach and offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn as their next head coach.

Bradley replaces John Pagano, who was not retained after five seasons as the Chargers' defensive coordinator and 15 years overall in the organization.
