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

[CanadianBoltFan]

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.

Yes from the QB standpoint, the Chargers OC job is easlily the most attractive

Arjun brings up an interesting point, the Bucs and Chargers were outcoached in defense schemes and both their offensive coordinators
paid with their jobs.

I'd love to see the team bring back Pep Hamilton as our QB coach since they are blowing up the coaching staff in Texas.

This is exactly as many of us realists expected. TT and stayley stay and Lombo gets the boot.

Best we can hope for is that the new OC knows what the hell he's doing and that TT gets us some speed at WR. We need someone to maximize Herbert's talents.

The one thing stayley did well in the 2nd half of the season is creating defensive turnovers. Run D still sucks. 2nd half adjustments still suck. Bone headed coaching decisions still abound.

All things considered, we might see some improvement next year even with stayley at the helm, if and only if, we get a competent OC.

Yes it was the realistic solution.

While I would have been happy with a more experienced and accomplished HC, at least Lombardi and Day are gone. It has been realized that turning Herbert and his arm into a modern day Alex Smith with the 31st pass yard ave since the start of 2021 is not acceptable.

Telesco stays...after a decade of incompetence?

Utter madness.

We would have been better off getting Lynn a babysitter and keeping Steichen

Beta organization all the way down.

Necessary shedding, respect to Joe as I'm sure he did his best but it wasn't nearly enough.
This is a good day for anyone who roots for better, I just hope we find a guy that is able to maximize our best player.
hoping we can discuss candidates on this thread?

Lombardi had to go.

Staley:
Strength: Game-planning
Weakness: In-game Adjustments

If you don't fire Staley, fire the DC and hire an experienced DC who is good at making in-game adjustments. The players do like Staley and he can definitely game-plan. This would be the most painless decision and would solve what I think is the biggest issue.

The defense, after grabbing 4 INTs in the 1st half, then gave up 31 points in the last 31 minutes without stopping the JAGS. The problem isn't just with the offense. Wish it was, but it's not.

The Spanos' must mandate to Staley that he make at least 3 separate defensive and offensive gameplans for each game, so they can throw away one script for another when dictated by the opposing team. Exceptions and disqualifiers to defensive gameplans include any version of Quarters or Cover 3 zone coverages as they are barred. Exceptions and disqualifiers to offensive gameplans include installation of any part of Lombardi's playbook. :thinking: :shifty:

I saw that too. Very interesting.

Stats are stats, they don't tell the whole story, but it begs the question: "Why were we outliers drastically above the norm last game?"

Id like to see those stats over the last season. Id bet we have been statistically over the norm most of the season.

Time for a fresh start at OC. I hope they can get a good one. Herb deserves it and us suffering fans as well.

I can understand the Chargers as we were Down to Allen, Palmer and Bandy. But the Bucs had their full complement of receivers - no way that should have happened to them.
