Maybe we need to blame that old buzzard Ron Wolf, who recommended TT.
I will hold out hope that Spanos will do something very profound.

Spanos have very poor judgment. I have no faith in their decision making or assessment of who to hire. They can’t spot a diamond in the rough. The only success this franchise has had is when they hire proven successes.Originally posted by wu-dai clan View PostComment

We will truly see what these owners are made of goin into the new stadium next year.Are they gonna be brave and try something new or just go along business as usual and hope things somehow work out.Honestly my biggest fear is it gets so bad with our team and these loser owners that the NFL steps in and does something drastic like move our team out of state.I know it probably won't happen but if it did that would be the end of my fandom.Comment

I was actually hoping at one point that Bill Parcels was available to be a consultant. But I believe he is involved with the NFL still on some other organizationOriginally posted by wu-dai clan View PostComment

I’m not necessarily sold on firing Telesco
but if we were looking at replacements
id definitely want someone who can appreciate analytics
and someone connected to the college game.

That insider's take is from John himself:
John Spanos was named President of Football Operations for the Chargers in May 2015. He oversees all of the team’s football operations, including player personnel, coaching, player finance and the salary cap, medical, equipment…
In 2003 Spanos began working full-time as a scout. He methodically worked his way up through the organization before his career took a giant leap forward in 2013 when he was named Executive Vice President of Football Operations. This new position afforded him the opportunity to put his first big imprint on the organization, and he did just that as a key member of the selection committee responsible for the hiring of General Manager Tom Telesco.
Spanos has seen his role in the NFL Draft grow exponentially since his ascension in 2013, and the results have been overwhelmingly positive. The 2014 draft class was headlined by cornerback Jason Verrett… the 2017 draft class received high marks from media pundits as the team brought in… Mike Williams and… Forrest Lamp and Dan Feeney.
The 2017 season will mark Spanos’ 22nd year in the NFL and his 19th with the team, with previous assignments within the organization including stints as a pro and college scout (2003-05), assistant director of college scouting (2006-07) and director of college scouting (2008-12).
It’s no coincidence that Spanos’ ascension within the organization coincided with one of the most successful eras on the field in franchise history.
Spanos continues to work closely with McGuire. They have managed the salary cap and retained some of the team’s top players, negotiating multiple contract extensions…
Staying true to his scouting roots, Spanos serves on the board of directors for National Football Scouting and is an Honorary Member of the University of California-San Diego (UCSD) Athletic Board.
