See Ya Renaldo Hill...

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

If your HC is the de facto DC, the following could happen:

1. When the O is on the field, he probably won't be able to huddle up the D on the sidelines to fine-tune assignments and in-game adjustments. If he attempts to do so, he'll be neglecting watching what the O is doing.

2. When the D is on the field, he'll probably be so focused on the D that he won't be able to huddle up with the O, or especially the QB, to discuss in-game adjustments.

3. For both #1 and #2, the HC's ability to challenge plays and manage the clock could be affected if he's trying to do too much.

That's three big reasons for the HC to let the DC do his job. I'm sure there's more.

McDaniel is not much better

I meant Fangio.

but I’m just glad I won’t have to listen to hill stumble through anymore press conferences

I don't think this makes much difference for the Chargers. Like Bienemy leaving the Chiefs. Now Reid will have a new guy to be OC in name only, just like Staley will have one to be DC in name only.

Unless it’s a guy who has the balls to say yo BrNdon your shit doesn’t work why don’t we tweak x, y and z?

but maybe more diplomatically

Good Riddance, I was never impressed by him. Seems more to me like he was quietly pushed out but framed this way to protect him and save face. No way he voluntarily takes this demotion. :

Chargers’ DC Renaldo Hill is leaving LA to reunite with Miami defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and become the Dolphins defensive pass-game coordinator, per source. Hill was Fangio’s top target and out of respect to his former boss, Chargers’ HC Brandon Staley allowed his defensive coordinator to leave LA for Miami.

Weird:

he leaves to take a demotion from DC to assistant to a DC?

Has anyone commented on this already?

[powderblueboy]

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

Okay, thanks!

Jamrock has clarified it for me.

[powderblueboy]

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.

You forgot to include the original special teams coordinator.

[powderblueboy]

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.

The original waterboy was strangled in his crib ...... Staley wanted to get younger in all organizational facets.

[jaguarmanftype]

This smells like they had a "discussion" with Renaldo Hill lowkey about finding another opportunity so they can promote Ansley.

Would u rather play third fiddle to Fangio, one of the top DC's in the game? Or would u rather play second fiddle to Staley, still an unproven, sometimes bumbling HC who won't let u do your job?

Staley replaced ST CO and we got far better. There's room for improvement at OC / DC also.

<waves hand wildly> Don't forget the Special Teams Coordinator, Swinton!
