The Los Angeles Chargers will have both offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt and defensive coordinator Gus Bradley back alongside head coach Anthony Lynn for next season, per Chargers.com.

In their first season working together, the trio combined to lead the Chargers to a 9-7 record as they just missed out on a first playoff appearance in four seasons.

Bradley, who arrived last offseason after being fired as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, had been courted by the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks. However, he decided to stay in L.A. and signed a new three-year deal to boot.

Bradley made an immediate impact on the Chargers defense in his first year in charge. L.A. gave up just 17.0 points per game, which was the third lowest in the league. They also had the fifth-most sacks with 43 and the sixth-most interceptions with 18.
