Chargers Head Coaching Prospect - Defensive Prospect

[ghost]

Baldy's a big fan. Excellent.

Interesting breakdown of the Rams utilize their tackles and nose tackle and the outside Wide-9 LBers.

It’s a compelling case you make Ghost however who will nurture the Chosen One? Very important and we can’t miss here.

I think Pep is doing a fine job...the kid is doing great. If he had a defense that could hold onto those 4 big leads, he is 7-3 and probably headed for the playoffs his rookie year.

I got no problem with a defensive minded coach, if we do make a change. He will bring a new scheme, a new DC to match his philosophy, and a new attitude on defense. I think Pep might stay on as QB coach, if he isn't promoted to OC...Steichen isn't horrible and is trending better...and that might be because Lynn is giving him more leeway in order to save his own job...we seem to be putting the ball in Herberts hands more and more each week...but bottom line, I think the O's only real problem is below average line.

Staley is intriguing...I like the bit about him being a former QB, and is now coaching defense....good experience on both sides of the fence.

If we replace Lynn, there aren't any world beaters out there, folks. No Cowher, Gruden, Parcells...no Belicheck or Payton looking to build a new empire for the challenge of it...first time HC is the likely deal. Just remember....all these hall of fame coaches had to be first time coaches to begin with.

Rams fans know what's up.

The Rams defense earned that #1 ranking, by beating the Seattle and Tampa Bay (Russell Wilson & Tom Brady) in back-to-back weeks.

If this post is to be taken at face value, I like the guy.

I really enjoyed watching the Rams D. Brady didn’t know what hit him. My favorite play was when they showed Brady man coverage to bait him to throw the long ball. He didn’t see the safety starting to run towards the middle a few seconds before the ball was snapped to help with the deep ball. Ended up intercepting the ball and sealing the game.

Anthony Lynn's name is now legend as the All-Time Charger King of Blown Leads, as witness by his equally abysmal record in one-score games: 13-22

The Bears are 19-4 in the Matt Nagy era in games in which the offense has scored a touchdown before halftime. 19-4


If the Bears can score a single TD before halftime, the Bears defense can protect that lead.

Strong enough to beat cancer. Guy's tough and has character.

For the Chargers - pass.

There are too many coaches out there with more experience than this guy. Not even worth an interview in my opinion.
Pagano, Schwartz, Bowles - hell Dennis Allen in New Orleans has done a very good job. Plus, I think Allen working for Payton might be more beneficial than working for John Fox. Terrible record with the Raiders but 6 years now again with Payton...

Doesn't matter with experience it's future potential. When given the chance, and you figure out how to utilize the chess pieces you have adequately, then your given the nod to graduate.

I say the same thing about Staley that I do about Moore, or Arthur Smith or Joe Brady - this just is not about being a coordinator - its about being a head coach. If the Chargers fire Lynn, and it might fail miserably - but the model of picking first time head coaches hasn't worked. I don't want to waste a year of Herberts career - I want somebody who will be ahead of the game the day they are hired. All these rookie HCs will have a steep learning curve. And yes, guys like Vrabel are doing well, Brian Flores - I just don't want to "take a chance on a newby" again.

It's not that...it's the ability to outwit your opponent and maximize your talent. Looking forward not backward!

Patriots Defensive Coach Dean Pees says that Bill Belichick maybe spent 45 with the defensive staff each week in preparation. The bulk of Belichick's time was spent in the quarterback room with Tom Brady, coaching Brady up on what the defense was going to do and the looks they were going to show. All-Brady prep, all-the-time.

Staley is a QB who became a defensive coordinator, a rare skill-set, that could translate rather well into teaching to Justin Herbert how to read defensive fronts.

The Chargers biggest problem is basic coaching and during the game
Special teams
clock management
play calling - way too many runs on first down

To me, the basics. They might be doing okay Mon - Saturday but on Sunday, something isn't clicking
