The Chargers will choose between Telesco and their own director of player personnel, Jimmy Raye.
The Chargers are trying to replace former general manager A.J. Smith, who was fired Dec. 31 along with coach Norv Turner. Smith was the general manager for the Chargers since 2003.
In the 10 years under Smith, the Chargers went to the playoffs five times. But in those five playoff trips, San Diego only made it to an AFC Championship Game once, and the Chargers lost.
This season was the third straight year in which the Chargers failed to make the playoffs. San Diego went 7-9 and failed to score 400 points in a season for the first time since 2003, Smith’s first year as the team’s GM.
