ST's this year were on the low side of average at best.

You would think with that slow of a wind up Long would be booming monster punts but they were just average at best.

Scapegoat move IMHO.

Staley can't fire himself! What is it that made him mediocre that lost us games. Was he responsible for the last play of the game against the raiders? I think whoever managed that situation should be put on that yellow bus for special students!

Who knows what happened behind the scenes? Until Roberts was signed, I thought Swinton definitely deserved the axe. Chargers made a lot of player acquisitions aimed at improving the special teams and all we got were excuses. But last quarter of the season or so, I thought things were looking better. I really like Swinton the man from what we got to see. But ST were not good and maybe that was a factor in some of the going for it on 4th down stuff?
But I am totally surprised that Staley fired anyone. Just did not think he would do it. He may be a lot more cut throat than I gave him credit for. The Bronco ST coordinator is not so good (we scored a KOR TD against him and their KR coverage I think was last in the NFL) so I hope we aren;t going after him.

So we show some improvement on special teams and we fire the guy?
If anything you should be bringing in a proven defensive coordinator first and foremost.
To be fair though, Roberts was a difference maker on returns and I didn't think our coverage on kicks was all that much better. Hopefully this means stayley is going to shake things up for the better where necessary.
