Former Pitt head coach Dave Wannstedt likely won’t soon be coaching another NFL team, years after stints with the Bears and Dolphins. But Wannstedt is still seeing a demand for his services at the NFL level.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen report that Wannstedt could be reuniting with former Cowboys colleague Norv Turner as defensive coordinator of the Chargers. He also could be headed to Carolina, to serve as defensive coordinator under former Chargers defensive coordinator Ron Rivera.

The Bills and Browns also are interested in Wannstedt.

Wannstedt spent six years with the Bears and four seasons and nine games with the Dolphins.
