POLL: Is it Time to Fire Lombardi?

[electricgold]

One thing i will say is Lombardi is fine if our players make the plays and catch the ball. However he seems to have learned while the HC had Drew Breese as his QB who made these sort of throws etc. Herbert needs a few plays to go deep, it is in the Chargers history.... Everything is underneath coupled with our RB a lot of the times getting stuffed at the line.

Can we give Chain a press pass to debate him on that with his stat sheet? That would be gold. opcorn:

As I mentioned earlier in this thread - Lombardi is Staley's guy and is going nowhere.

Let's check in on Anthony Lynn, Shane Steichen, and Pep Hamilton and see how their offenses are fairing this season....yikes.

Let's remove the flanker screen to Keenan, tear it out of the playbook and let's have at-least three starters in the game on O-line, and I like our chances.

The 1954 Giants had Jim Lee Howell as head coach. His offensive coordinator was Vince Lombardi and his defensive coordinator was Tom Landry.

Last season the long bombs were there because of the run game. Yup that same run game we all hated opened up Guyton + Johnson deep.

I’m very, very, very close to turning against Staley. It’s clear he values his friendships more than he does winning and that’s an awful quality to have for a successful HC.

that's ridiculous, it's obviously just coach speak to support his coordinator half way through their first year together
never seen such a short leash on ANY headcoach ever.
I don't know why people even TRY to read into such benign comments
let the man have an actual season before you bring the pitch forks.
I would be more worried if BS was publicly putting his OC on blast after 10 games.

Honesty is always the best policy. He could’ve diplomatically said something like “Joe needs to be better like we all need to be better…and I have confidence in him that he will get this fixed throughout the remainder of the season”.

Instead he’s spouting off BS stats make it seem like Lombardi is actually doing good.

FWIW, Popper is dismissing the idea of Telesco being replaced.
like many of us assume.
I don't think it's realistic to hope for his dismissal
Best to hope for Telesco to get help from an actual football mind or get lucky.

That's like trying to plug the leak in the Titanic with a bigger plug...

Yep...he doesn't have to totally throw Lombo under the Bolt Bus, but at least Staley could give us something like: "We need to do a better job against that stacked box, or against those zone defenses..."

perhaps. but I can't come to the conclusion that he's valuing friendships over winning.
plenty of fair criticisms, but that's a reach imo
