      I don’t know much about him, but glad he learned a bit under Minter.

      TPB, tell me how to feel.

        Just a little surprised that it wasn't Clinkscale, who was already on staff, but not too far off being with the Chargers in 2024. Looking forward to hearing what he's about.

              I hope they keep Clink and Elston

                This should be a good hire. Assuming McDaniel will have our offense put points on the board early in games, our secondary and edge rushers should have a field day on teams having to overly rely on the passing game. The safeties group played better in 2024 with more moving pieces due to injury so I expect the secondary, safety and edge rusher and even linebacker units to excel with the hiring of O'Leary.

                  Welcome coach.
                  Lots of good college experience, will be helpful in the draft and in FA.
                  looks like S and LB will be a point of emphasis (strong down the middle)
                  I trust Jim that this was our best option.

                    I expect Junior Colson to take a leap this upcoming season, with R.J. Mickens taking significant steps to solidify himself as a play-making starter.

                      Significant higher on this hire than the Butch Barry one.

                        Makes some sense. Probably a similar deal with Clinkscale. We have been drafting fits for this D and he can evolve it. Money D is so critical to this scheme. DB minded coach will be able to carry on that Minter legacy.

                        Its late enough in the coaching carousel game that we have the best of both worlds now. Assuming Clink stays. They probably didnt want to lose O"Leary to college ball. Now hes back and the DB coaching just got that much better.

                        Almost like have 2 worthy DCs. You could say that about Fuller as well. Its crazy how critical DB play is on this team and yet we have not used high picks on them. Our DB coaches are so good.

                        And Hortiz has done a great job of supplying value talent on that side of the ball. We wont ever be a blitz happy team. Do as much damage as you can with 4 or less. Penetrate with DBs in situational ball.
