See ya Joe Lombardi and Shane Day...Staff Changes

[Classic]

Doesnt matter who comes in. Almost every team in the AFC now knows how to beat Staley's Chargers. Sure Offense will be better than the braindead Lombardi scheme but it wont change in game adjustments. Also we still have Telesco who wont change how he drafts so get ready for the injury bad luck to continue as well as the lack of heart.

[James Chavez]

Implies that Staley will be back, and we won't consider Sean Payton. Par for the course with Spanos. Weak leadership starts at the top.

This was the #1 desire on TPB all year long yet when we get it - now it just sucks. set aside TT, set aside BS, if Lombo had managed to stumble his bumbling way into just one additional drive on the last 35 minutes of the game, Chargers still would have won.

Just one drive was all they needed.

Who are the candidates? Anyone jumping out? I would think with Staley's hot seat it could be tough to find a quality hire BUT we do have Herbert to work with which is way more than the other teams looking for an OC.

[SK21209]

What any OC candidate is going to have to be willing to accept by coming to the Chargers is basically a 1-year deal. Once Staley fucks up again, EVERYONE will be gone at this time next year. So the chance of getting a major upgrade from Lombardi are probably slim.

Fair point, but look at the list of other open OC jobs in the last bullet. All of those teams have no QB except maybe the Rams but McVay calls the plays. Of the open jobs, ours will be the most desirable solely because of Herbert, barring the Jets trading for a veteran.

The Bolt’s offensive is loaded and underperforming. It’s a great one year job for an up and comer to show his stuff.

He should also bring a passing game coordinator and running game coordinator/offensive line coach with him.

And bring in Pep Hamilton as qb coach.

According to Bea Spanos the sister, her brother (Dean) don't have the money! Hoping they sell the team !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Charge!]

Scapegoats....... the GM and HC and ownersare responsible

Half Measures by Dean Spanos. This called for full measures, a full house cleaning but Dean's priority was watching his business investment mature in Los Angeles. So, he's simply prolonged the inevitable to 2024.

Brandon Staley will be fired one year from today, on January 17th, 2024.

Write it down.

Dude was the not the right hire from day 1. Most people knew this already including me after his stint with the lions, it’s ashamed we wasted two years of Hebert on a rookie scale contract to find this out.

Don't agree with this take at all. Any OC can look at how badly the O performed this year and know that with a competent scheme and a QB like Herbert, they have a chance to shine right away. And if they did blow up the staff next year, they still get paid as coaches contracts are guaranteed.

‘Men Are in Charge and Women Should Shut Up': Lawsuit Could Force Spanos Family to Sell Chargers

Millions in debt. Inability to pay off charitable obligations. Breaches of fiduciary duty. Aggressive Misogyny. A private jet to get a haircut.

It’s all alleged in a lawsuit filed this week against Dean Spanos that could tip the balance of power in the Spanos family and, almost certainly, usher in the sale of the National Football League’s Chargers.

The filing was made this week in San Joaquin County Super Court by Dea Spanos Berberian, Dean’s sister. Berberian is trying to make the case that Dean has put the family trust in such deep financial trouble that he should be removed as co-trustee, giving her lone control of the trust.

Dean, Dea and their siblings Michael and Alexis all have a 15% ownership stake in the franchise. The trust controls 36%. If Berberian is able to remove Dean she would effectively be in charge of 51% of the Chargers ownership. Considering the fact Berberian has already filed a petition in Los Angeles County Superior Court asking that the trust and the team be put up for sale it stands to reason that she would put the team up for sale.

So, why would she take this step? In her estimation it’s necessary to overturn years of financial mismanagement by Dean, Michael, and Steve Cohen (executive vice president of The Spanos Corporation). The suit claims the trust is, as of December 31, 2021, $358 million in debt and losing $11 million annually. Dea says her brother has been using the trust to pay against debts, many of them for his own personal gain and the detriment of the rest of the family. One example, taken from the lawsuit:

“Dean continues to use Trust assets as collateral, draw on the Trust’s lines of credit, and refuses to pay dividends for his own personal benefit and in breach of his fiduciary duties. For example, despite the fact that TSC (The Spanos Corporation) conducted little to no business in Las Vegas for decades, Dean insisted on keeping a TSC office there so that he could write-off private flights to enjoy his second home and get his hair cut, since Las Vegas is where Dean’s barber is based.”
