I am relieved seeing that Staley has full control to hire the staff he wants. Whether the staff will be successful, I'm unsure. But he appears to be building a decent staff. The pool he is considering appears relatively small and shallow -- not a surprise given his lack of time in the NFL -- but if they are good coaches, that may not matter.

Defensive Search Staff UpdatesOriginally posted by Bolt4Knob View Post
Jonathan Gannon. This is another Brandon Staley situation, where the Chargers would be wise to not let him leave after the interview.

Wow. A defensive passing game coordinator. That’s a bit unique. I guess the motivated only by being cheap Dean Spanos and his meddling backward thinking son John are letting Staley take some innovative approaches to his staff all while forcing the former assistant coaches on him?
Ha!
Barry returns to where he was stolen from. It’s interesting that he was the assistant head coach in addition to linebacker coach at the Rams. So this is NOT a lateral move or a promotion. HC’s typically give the assistant head coach title to those they value and don’t want stolen. Barry has been around a while and is a former DC in the NLF along with a lot of college experience. Might be a father figure for Staley?
The DB coach from Indy is highly regarded. Don’t know about the DB coach from Denver. I guess this means we got maybe the best DL coach in the NFL on our team as a lateral move. Must say something about Staley.
And Morris rejected Meyer for McVAy says a lot, too.

Mike McDaniel was the top option as OC if Staley was hired. But with Kyle promoting him to OC, it was on to O’Connell and hoping that McVay releases him to us like he did with LaFleur and the Titans.Originally posted by UglyTruth View PostComment

Man, Joe Barry. Glad he’s not the DC but doing something else instead.Originally posted by ghost View PostComment

Dean is probably freaking out. Their profit is shrinking with all these positions getting filled. I didn’t know there were this many positions under the HC. When we hired Lynn, I don’t remember people getting interviewed left and right like this.Originally posted by Heatmiser View PostComment

Breer pointed out that Gannon is a hot name for DCOriginally posted by Heatmiser View Post
Philly if McDaniels gets the job (and my guess, if Nick Sirianni from the Colts gets the Eagles job might want Gannon)
Falcons want Gannon
Chargers interviewing
Breer also said if Josh McD got the Browns job in 2020 - than Gannon and Staley would have been co-coordinators
That last statement tells me Staley was a known assistant last yearComment

Exactly. Appears the Chargers are welcoming an innovative, more modern and specialized approach. Not just position teachers, but coordinated concept teachers as well. Says a lot about the ownership/front office.Originally posted by CivilBolt View Post

I wonder if that means that he thinks that Meyer's foray into the NFL will be as much of a shit show as I do? :shrug:Originally posted by Heatmiser View PostComment

It looks like Staley is going after some Bears D-staff. If we can model our D to be like the Rams or Bears, we will be golden.Originally posted by Heatmiser View PostComment

I'm not surprised Campen wasn't retained.
LeFleur let him go in Green Bay, when he switched their offense to a more McVay style.
In case anyone is wondering what the offense will look like.
I think there is a chance Steichen could stay...but I don't think it's likely.
I like the hires on the defensive side so far."...of course that's just my opinion, I could be wrong."Comment

Gannon is another Northeast Ohio guy (Cleveland).
