Coach Staley Discussion - Fired

[Velo]

We already had the Staley thread. I'm going to merge them, hopefully it won't break the site.

Whew... it worked. If you want to find the start of the new thread, 15 pages back.

Right on, thank you.

I thought Bisaccia should have been kept by the raiders. He did a good job for them. I wouldn't be opposed to seeing the Chargers hire him.

Wow, Roo, we actually agree!

Yep...BTW, Rich Bisaccia is available...was interim HC with Raiders, and asst. HC with Cowboys, Bucs and Chargers, plus ST's...all he did was took over as HC after the Chuckie mess last season and took the Raiders to the playoffs...look at them now...hire him in a couple weeks at the start of the bye...

I love and respect Rich. He would be a real head coach. Not one of these young coordinators with little experience still calling plays. He would hire a real OC and DC and delegate the responsibilities. Would love him.

It must be the cancer is screwing with my thinking.

The day after I haven't changed my mind about it.

I can appreciate Staley's aggressiveness, as we have had coaches to the extreme in the other direction. But he lacks sound judgment. Today was a case of being aggressive just for the sake of being aggressive.

This kid is too rash and too inexperienced. He needs experienced coordinators around him if he's going to succeed going forward.

Exactly!

I am not at all opposed to a coach that is not afraid to be agressive. It is a matter of learning some game management, when to be agressive and when not to be.

Staley's mindset and defiance does not fit with his experience level nor does he have the results and NFL track record to act like he is above question.

As interesting as Keenan's tweets yesterday. I find it also interesting that Ekler felt he had to come out and defend his coach. Becoming apparent it is an ongoing conversation in that locker room and perhaps not 100% are on board with some of these decisions. Not far fetched speculation and a few ex NFL players who have been in locker rooms have expressed that take.

A few more wins will cure all, and there are positives. The team could really grow after over coming early season adversity...but it just seems sometimes the Chargers have to win in spite of their coach not because of him.

There are also some wildly speculative things being said about Keenan's first two Tweets,
while conveniently avoiding his finally Tweet.

Back to Teal Leaf Reading School.

I never avoided Keenans final tweet. he said good win boys. Was happy his team won, nothing crazy about that

What was more tell tale was his real time reaction when the call was made BEFORE he knews the results. He clearly questioning the coaching decision when it was made. That fact that Staley and the Chargers got very lucky that a kicker missed a FG that most NFL kickers make 60+% of the time doesnt stop Keenan from being happy his team woin the game.

We are all happy Chargers won the game, and we are all happy they got lucky and a stupid coaching decision didnt cost them a winable game.

Rich Eisen

As Eisen pointed out, Keenan Allen called out Staley’s coaching in front of the whole country on Twitter with a “WTF”.

should Staley kick Keenan off the team this week for insubordination and mutiny?

What did Keenan do that is insubordination?
