Is He Gone Yet? - YES HE IS - Anthony Lynn Discussion

[Eurobolt]

Critty what happened to your signature?

[Bolt4Knob]

Well we can't fire the owner but at this point I would not mind seeing everyone go. I was in favor of keeping TT but after watching Lynn shit himself on the sidelines all year and the other coaches wallowing in it all game while TT seems oblivious i am ready to blow them all out.

Oh hell yes Telesco needs to go
has never built an OL
ST were terrible this year
He traded many 4th round picks and whiffed on 3rd round picks
His record is under .500
Never won the division
Oh hell yes, he needs to go

The Spanii need to recreate 2001 with John Butler and Marty Combo

meaning an established GM with a more experienced head coach.

Telesco and Lynn should be gone this morning

[richpjr]

Open up my browser this morning, hoping to see rumors, reports or news that Lynn has been fired or is about to be. Instead, the most I get is Rappaport reporting he is on the hot seat. WTF??? Then I remembered who owns the team and just have to shake my head and marvel at a family so utterly clueless that they are sticking with this guy.

I am of the opinion that if he wasn't fired last night - he will not be fired today or until the end of the season. IF he is fired at all. I still think
Telesco will be back
Lynn will be back
Bradley will be fired and Rex Ryan will be the new DC

Its the Spanii - they will have a reason that nobody knows, why lynn will be kept

We've discussed new coach possibilities, but have we thrown around new GM possibilities? I think Telesco gets a pass just for Herbert alone, but who's on everyone's mind if he isn't?

Riddick
Rick Smith
Daniel Jeremiah is intriguing if you have the right HC maybe - something like they have with Seattle with Carrol and Schneider
Popper had a bunch of first timers with zero experience - from Indy, from KC, forget the rest

I kind of want experienced like Butler was
I thought about Dmitroff if he brought in Josh McD

The problem is John D Spanos is still in the building and its obvious he should not be part of football ops.

Harbaugh and Trent Baalke did pretty well with the Niners for a few years

In Breers column today he had a blurb how people like Anthony Lynn in the building. Everybody. He was part of the move from SD to LA, etc.

So he is a leader of men, well respected, well liked but he is nota good coach on gameday.

Sorry, the last thing needs to be damn higher on the damn list. Teacher and Game Day Head Coach

"While Lynn has clearly lost the locker room, the blame for this season has to reach higher. Let's not forget, the Chargers gave their coach a contract extension in February coming off a 5-11 season. It was a decision that didn't make a lick of sense at the time. The problem is, most decisions in Los Angeles are made by John Spanos -- the son of owner Dean Spanos -- and general manager Tom Telesco, neither of whom are going anywhere."

"The Chargers have long been one of the worst-run organizations in sports, and the Lynn contract extension was a perfect example of that. The higher-ups love to reward underachieving head coaches they can control, as they did with Norv Turner and Mike McCoy for years. In fact, Marty Schottenheimer was the team's last good head coach and he was fired after a 14-2 season because he wouldn't kowtow to management and wanted the freedom to hire his own coaching staff."


The Chargers Were an Organizational Embarrassment Against the Patriots

By Ryan Phillips | Dec 6, 2020, 9:06 PM EST

Anthony Lynn and the Los Angeles Chargers were absolutely dismantled by an average New England Patriots squad on Sunday, as Bill Belichick's boys secured a 45-0 win at SoFi Stadium. It was the kind of defeat that reverberates for a long time. It was as embarrassing a loss as any NFL team has suffered this season.

Lynn will likely be gone after a few more games, but this rot goes much deeper than him. The Chargers were expected to contend for a playoff spot this year and are currently 3-9. The only bright spot on the season has been the play of rookie quarterback Justin Herbert, but even he was horrid on Sunday. Herbert completed 26 of 53 passes (49 percent) for 209 yards, with no touchdowns and two interceptions.

The Chargers were outgained by the Patriots 291 to 258 on Sunday, which shouldn't have led to such a lopsided score. Cam Newton completed 12 of 19 passes for 69 yards, in what wasn't exactly a vintage performance. But Herbert threw those two interceptions, while LA also gave up a 70-yard punt return for a score and had a field goal blocked and returned for a touchdown to end the first half. The Bolts were so bad on special teams that Patriots return man Gunner Olszewski had three punt returns for 145 yards. That's an insane 48.3 yards per return.

While Lynn has clearly lost the locker room, the blame for this season has to reach higher. Let's not forget, the Chargers gave their coach a contract extension in February coming off a 5-11 season. It was a decision that didn't make a lick of sense at the time. The problem is, most decisions in Los Angeles are made by John Spanos -- the son of owner Dean Spanos -- and general manager Tom Telesco, neither of whom are going anywhere.

Even Lynn's best season (2018) ended in embarrassment. The Chargers went 12-4, won a first-round playoff game, then got hammered in the Divisional Round by -- surprise! -- the Patriots, 41-28. That score makes the contest seem close, but the Pats led 35-7 at the half and the Bolts scored a few garbage time touchdowns to make it seem closer. Humiliation finds you when you're a terrible franchise.

The Chargers have long been one of the worst-run organizations in sports, and the Lynn contract extension was a perfect example of that. The higher-ups love to reward underachieving head coaches they can control, as they did with Norv Turner and Mike McCoy for years. In fact, Marty Schottenheimer was the team's last good head coach and he was fired after a 14-2 season because he wouldn't kowtow to management and wanted the freedom to hire his own coaching staff. Despite a wealth of talent and a Hall of Fame quarterback (Philip Rivers), the franchise has won four playoff games in the 13-plus years since firing Schottenheimer.

Part of the reason Herbert has been so successful as a rookie has been the weapons at his disposal. Keenan Allen is a legitimate No. 1 receiver, Hunter Henry is a top-tier tight end, Mike Williams is one of the NFL's top big-play wideouts and LA has a few solid running backs. Plenty of quarterbacks would kill for that arsenal but the Chargers just can't win games. The defense doesn't give up a ton of yards but it ranked 25th in the NFL in points allowed (27.3) entering this week. That number got worse on Sunday, and is now up to 28.8. When it counts, the defense is softer than wet Wonder Bread.

From top to bottom, the Chargers just aren't a winning organization. Ownership is terrible, the front office consistently puts the wrong people in charge and the foundations are soft and always shifting. The result is what we saw on Sunday as a rock-solid franchise went to LA and embarrassed a bad one. This wasn't just one game, it was the culmination of years of ineptitude.

The Chargers need to make massive structural changes to their organization or these embarrassments will keep on coming.

POTD.......post of the decade right here.

[Silversurfer]

Just read his contract is up after this year, might be something in the terms they agreed too. They will probably let him ride it out these last 4 games, hopefully J.H doesnt get killed out there.

That says it all. One of the worst run organizations in sports. Dean has been worse than Alex and JohnBoy has been worse than Dean. JohnBoy shouldnt have his hands in ANY football decisions for this team. Just hire the right guys and sit back.

Enough of these articles might embarrass the Spanos into hiring a real president of football ops
