I have deep seeded resentments that get the best of me. I just wish the spanos fam could stay out of the operational side of things. Wish is all im saying. Thats all it is. You dont need to tell me it will never happen.Last edited by jaguarmanftype; 01-17-2023, 12:32 AM.

Zac Taylor.
Nick Sirianni.
Brian Daboll.
Three Head Coaches who rose from the rank and file of NFL coaching, who've been in the league for at least 10 seasons, who were hired as first time head coaches after serving as coordinators for successful franchises, who now have their teams in the playoffs. One of them took his team to the SB last season. One of them led their team to the best record in the league this season. One of them took a down and out franchise last season and just one a road playoff game and is a favorite to win Coach of the Year.
You don't need a Sean Payton or a Jim Harbaugh. Find a guy like one these, someone who the Spanoses can afford because they won't command an obnoxious salary. Brandon Staley was elevated too fast. He has not been in the league long enough. He's not well-grounded in the NFL, and the team's inconsistency shows that.
My favorite HC candidate in the mold of Taylor/Sirianni/Daboll is Shane Steichen. Steichen is one of the hottest HC candidates. The Texans, Panthers and Colts have already had him in for interviews (who knows what other teams). The Spanoses know Steichen well. He was the Chargers' QB coach then OC. He was Herbert's first OC.
There are other HC candidates who fit this mold. I know it hasn't worked out for the Chargers to hire first time HC their last three tries. But it's the only route available to the Spanoses, due to their financial limitations. One of these times, they are bound to hit on a HC like Taylor, or Sirianni (also a former Chargers asst) or Daboll.
I don't think I can continue to follow this team if they retain Staley. If I, as a Bolts fan for 40+ years, am ready to move on, think about how the fan base in LA must feel. The Chargers are in danger of being and afterthought in their own city, despite being one of the more talented franchises in the NFL, with one of the best young QBs in the league.
I don't want to see Shane Steichen coach a losing franchise to the playoffs next season while the Chargers continue to founder under Staley.

The draft seemed less important to me for a year anyways and my hatred for the Spanos incompetence was greater. So I get it.
I'm not real down on Staley cuz I think he will be a good head coach in the league one day I've come to terms with the fact that the Spanos will not spend the money for a good experienced HC.
Replacing Lombardi will be at good step I suppose.
You do mention the Raiders often so I hope you don't go that route as it won't be any better for you.
