two things hugely in his favor.... he has unbelievable/near untouchable chemistry/affinity w/John Spanos, and post AJ his pr skills are a welcome breath of fresh air.
his drafts are getting better.... like alotta if not most GMs, he has left some talent on the table, and.... @least speaking for myself, the bar is set on hitting or missing, and not sure he didn't hit on all six picks last go 'round ?? and looking over his last few drafts, yes again he left some talent on the table, albeit again he seems to be having more hits than misses, and given that most GMs hit on about 50 percent of their picks, do think he's moving in the right direction.
and not worried 'bout selecting a worse GM, coz when it's time, it's time.... to pick a new GM, and for better or worse, and....
do agree that his achilles heel to date has been our lines.... have never understood our FO's proclivity for/propensity to sign undersized DTs and avoid NTs, 'til Joseph this year, and.... the Oline has been a near disaster, passing on near obvious talent in the draft, and overdrafting other less necessary talent in their lieu.... disappointed yes, and have been close to being over the TT show, and could very well find myself walking that line again ??
far as selecting head coaches, and in selecting talent in general for that matter, not sure that's been on him so much, as he (John) himself has clearly stated that he (young Spanos) is "heavily" involved in personnel decisions, and in the case of AL, eye suspect in charge of the HC decision as well.
McCoy seemed to be decision by committee, and Norv.... well, wish we had hired RR that go 'round.
so yeah, Telesco isn't overly inspiring as a talent evaluator guru, albeit he did pull the rabbit outta the proverbial hat w/Herbert.
he now needs that longterm/standing HC that can will this franchise beyond "chargering," and redefine what Charger football is.... (does anyone really know/have any idea these days ?)
and then yes, first order of biz is the lines and front seven.... preferably an OG, OC and OT, and good ones @that..... (sometimes easier said than done).
ps. am no fan of Polian.
