Prior to joining the Redskins, Hastings spent seven years with the San Diego Chargers (1995-2001), serving as head strength and conditioning coach for the last five years.

Hastings joined San Diego as an intern in 1990 and remained with the Chargers until he was hired as an assistant coach before the 1995 season.

He and his wife Lori have a son Alexander and a daughter Taylor.
