Early NFL years

He would hold the same position with the San Diego Chargers in 2002[3] until he was promoted in 2004 to the team's assistant wide receivers coach.[2]

New Orleans Saints

Carmichael has worked closely with Drew Brees since both arrived in New Orleans from San Diego in 2006[4] when he became the team's quarterbacks coach.
