Charger Coordinator/Staffing News and Discussion

That would be tampering and lead to us losing draft picks to the Rams.

Asst HC/ OC ?

Stan Kroenke denies Dean.

[sonorajim]

He had a good HC record at John Carroll. Terrible at Akron.

Set 18 school records as John Carroll's starting QB.
Conference Champs at John Carroll, D3 Coach of the year as HC.
Not so great in 2yr stops as HC in Chattanoga, Akron. Without knowing anything about the other school's personnel ; program, tough guess.

Stan Kroenke denies Dean.

So just HIRE HIM then w/o an interview if you think he's better than Steichen/Pep. I mean, Coach Staley knows him from the past 3 yrs working together by now right?
Or does "blocking interview" also mean "cannot hire?"

Cannot be hired either.

The Rams would need to release him from under contract. If he was classified as QB Coach - the Rams cannot block him. This would be a lateral move.

I just looked at coaches on the Broncos staff - now I know he has family in Denver but Staley worked with Mike Munchak - damn good OLine coach - not sure if he has ever been an OC> But a good coach.

FYI - looking at the Broncos staff - they have some room for "diversity" - almost like the 1985 Boston Celtics

NFL teams cannot hire away other teams’ coaches under contract in a lateral move. Just would be a terrible practice and is forbidden as a result.

I guess the Chargers asking to interview McConnell for the OC job kind of discredits the Mike Lombardi report? And the “I hate John Spanos and he is going to force Staley to keep his current coaches to save money” theory?

McConnell still may come. Right now I bet McVay is still steaming over losing the playoff game. He should be, as would any competitive coach. So he may just want some time to think. And if McConnell is really unhappy staying, McVay will want to let him go if he cannot convince him he has a better shot with the Rams than the Bolts. Don’t want someone on staff whose heart is not in it.. If he does decide to block McConnell he has every right to do that.

What happens after their contract expires? They can pursue other jobs that are lateral moves. No? What happens then with picks when a coach decides to move on to a better team that pays more but is the same level of coaching?

[Heatmiser]

Yes when the contract expires they can do whatever they please. I don’t know the answer to the second question but it is a good one.

The team that has the contract on the coach has the control, unless is is an actual promotion. Getting the title of "Assistant Head Coach" seems to qualify for that. If you let someone interview for a lateral move, its a signal that you are ok with losing the coach

And this from Albert Breer - Rams are blocking Kevin O'Connell, at least today, from interviewing with the Chargers. Probably helps Pep or Steichen keep the job. If so, I will take Pleasant as DC

Sources: The Rams blocked OC Kevin O'Connell from interviewing for the same job with the Chargers. They really value O'Connell, and the job he did for them this year. Lines of communication remain open, so things could change. But that's where the Rams stand now.

Even though O'Connell got blocked, this is still good news IMHO. It means that Staley isn't being forced to bring Steichen on as OC an he's at least considering other options.
