See Ya Renaldo Hill...

He’d rather take a demotion to coach with the real guy than stay as DC with Staley.

McDaniel is not much better

Staley and the team had to agree to this, to let Hill out of his Chargers' contract, right? I believe this is more Staley pushing Hill out the door, so Staley could promote Ansley to DC. It does not speak well for Staley that both the OC and DC he chose when he became HC turned out to be failures on this staff.

This would be my hope. I doubt he does this - but he should give up play calling to focus on being the head coach

the defense really has not been good his first two years. Maybe that is partly personnel but maybe he needs to adjust his schemes and play calling

What, in your opinion, should a HC do during games if he makes no play calls?

His baseline choices at OC/DC helped reach the playoffs. One and done.
He hired Ansley, Ansley looked sharp, has time in his D,, go for it.
Sharp young minds seem to be a theme among Chargers coaches.
The 2023 results will reflect good / bad choices.
They are either moving ahead or losing ground. Only one way to tell.

So why does Hill get all the blame as the DC? Joe certainly did as the OC for the offense. What is Staley here to do again?

Ouch.

Vic Fangio once picked Brandon Staley as a position coach and now he has done the same for Renaldo Hill. Hill's career will be the one to watch now.

I don't know why this is such a surprise. Our defensive collapses at times we're just as bad as the offensive side of the ball. Really can't do worse by giving up a 20 point lead the second half of the Jaguars game. Hill probably needs another couple years of experience before he can handle being assigned an actual role as DC. Both him and Lombardi we're lightweights not ready for primetime organizational coaching and player development.

only one left to blame...but he will fire the waterboy for the D not being hydrated enough and hence suckinass. cant say I'd miss hill.

For starts, hire staff, influence FA, draft choices. Install training programs, coordinate meetings.
Why think Hill gets all the blame? A sharp young assistant got promoted?
HC gets all the blame for everything. I blame him for wanting to improve.

Watch the game
understand the flow of the game on offense or defense
make suggestions to his coordinators about what they are seeing

Now you see a coach like Big Andy - he still calls plays. Does a pretty good job
Rat Face Jr - I think calls plays - does a good job

So there are examples where the head ball coach calls plays for one side of the ball or the other

Marty never called plays

Marty didnt call plays.
