Former Patriots offensive line coach Dave DeGuglielmo wasn’t out of work long.

Via Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune, the Chargers have hired DeGuglielmo to help coach the offensive line. The Patriots fired him earlier this week after Tom Brady took a beating in the AFC Championship Game.

The veteran assistant will be paired with former Vikings assistant Jeff Davidson coaching the blockers there, and frankly the Chargers can justify doubling up.

Their line has been a mess in recent years, primarily because of injuries, so the more help they can get, the better. Now they need to give those two some players to work with.
