Hate to say this DP, but that still say "expected" not "official"

Kevin Acee tweeted that he was getting the job, but there's still no full confirmation yet.

Glad to hear it. Now bring in a top notch OC and we very well may be in business. Let's hope there isn't a lockout.

The Union Tribune's article makes it seem certain that Ramsdell and Joiner WON'T be allowed to come over with Rivera:

The Chargers are not expected to allow any of their assistants to leave with Rivera. All of the Chargers' coaches except special teams coordinator Steve Crosby, who was let go last week, agreed to extensions last offseason.
