The San Diego Chargers have requested to interview Kansas City Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub for their head coaching vacancy, CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports.

Toub, one of the NFL's most accomplished special teams coaches, is widely considered a rising star in the coaching industry.

As ESPN's Adam Schefter adds, the Chargers aren't the only team expected to interview Toub for a lead job this offseason.

The Chiefs have consistently fielded dynamic special teams units in four seasons with Toub on staff. The 54-year-old previously spent nine years in the same position with the Chicago Bears, before making the move to Kansas City when Andy Reid was hired in 2013.
