Shane Steichen's coaching career

Shane Steichen

After serving as an offensive assistant for a year with the Louisville Cardinals in 2010, Shane Steichen was hired by the Los Angeles Chargers. He was a defensive assistant for them in 2011. He spent two years with the team, where they recorded a 15-17 record.

Steichen then joined the Cleveland Browns for a year as an offensive quality control coach in 2013 under head coach Rod Chudzinski. The Browns had a disappointing 4-12 record. Steichen was then hired by the Chargers once again after just one year away, this time as an offensive quality control coach.

He spent two years in this position with the Chargers before being promoted to their quarterbacks coach in 2016. He worked with quarterback Philip Rivers for four years in this position and made an appearance in the playoffs. This earned Steichen another promotion in 2019, having been elevated to offensive coordinator.

Steichen worked with Philip Rivers again during the 2019 season. The Chargers then selected Justin Herbert in the 2020 draft. Herbert replaced veteran Tyrod Taylor as the starting quarterback just a few games into the 2020 season. During this seven-year run with the Chargers, the team totaled a 51-61 record.

After helping develop Herbert during his rookie season, Steichen was hired to take over as the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2021. In his two years with the team, they posted a 23-11 record and made the playoffs in both seasons.

Shane Steichen has now spent 12 years as an assistant coach in the NFL, totaling a 93-101 record along the way. He will get his first chance at being a head coach with the Indianapolis Colts during the upcoming 2023 season.
