Report: LA Chargers to hire former Florida State DC Adam Fuller as safeties coach

The Los Angeles Chargers are set to hire former Florida State defensive coordinator Adam Fuller, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel.

“The Chargers are set to hire former Florida State DC Adam Fuller as the team’s new safeties coach,” Thamel wrote on Twitter. “He’s a veteran college defensive coordinator with stops at FSU, Memphis and Marshall. He served as the head coach at Assumption College in 2008.”

Fuller spent the last five seasons as Florida State’s DC and will now coach the safeties under head coach Jim Harbaugh out west.

Fuller’s coaching career dates back to 1998 and he held numerous assistant coaching positions for the next 10 years. He was the head coach of Assumption College in 2008, going 1-9.

Fuller returned to a DC role at Chattanooga for the next four seasons before rising the ranks at Marshall from 2013-18. That included defensive coordinator that final season and held the same role at Memphis in ’19 before going to FSU.

Amid a disastrous season for Florida State in 2024, Fuller, with OC Alex Atkins and WRs coach Ron Dugans, was fired in November.

“I appreciate the work these three men have provided over the last five years with me at Florida State,” head coach Mike Norvell said at the time. “They are all great men with families who also have poured into our program. We had many great moments together here, and I have never doubted their passion for our players and for Florida State.

“Unfortunately, we have not upheld the Florida State standard with our results on the field this season. I did not make any of these decisions lightly, but I felt changes needed to be made to elevate our program back to where we all desire it to be.”
