Kinda surprised about Telesco tbh. I think they have a pretty decent roster.

Klowned by Keim
Their third-highest cap charge is the dead money for JC Jackson. Telasco has a reputation as a guy who listens to his head coach's needs and goes and gets players. I wonder if they just want more of a visionary for that role.
Also not beyond the realm of possibility they just bring Bill Belicheck in to run everything next year.
I could totally see that happening

So crazy it didn't happen last year to get Sean Payton.

They need to do something for sure. Have to think Ben Johnson is near the top of the list for HC.

He’s Steve Keim with a little better percentage of drafting 1st round picks.
They also have no depth at all.
Kind of parallels the Keim/KK story from the last couple of seasons. Owner gets convinced by GM "But we won 10 games". Then the next season the team is a complete disappointment, then they lose their franchise QB to injury, GM and Coach get fired.

Way too cheap to bring Belicheck in. Also baby Spanos is basically the GM, he will never be fired

Brandon Staley and Jonathan Gannon have been best friends since they were 10 years old. They were each in the other's wedding and Gannon is godfather to Staley's youngest son.

The Eagles defensive coordinator and Chargers head coach forged a friendship as 10-year-olds on the basketball court. It’s still going strong today.

He why have been fired two years ago. This guys has made some of the dumbest in game management decisions I’ve seen. He’s one of the biggest analytics idiots in the game.

Other then the Cards, I've watched the Chargers more then any other team over the past 3years and this is a long time coming. The way Eckler looks lately it seems like they may have missed the window on him being special. Seems like they've wasted a lot of talent on that team.

Dean Spanos of Chargers doesn't have a stadium and pays $1 as rent to Kroenke to play at SoFi stadium. Fan base is small. Not a very stable ownership situation similar to Bids here. But they have a good QB. Many offensive coaches will covet the job I assume.
I could see a QB-hungry team knocking their socks off with picks for Herbert.
The Raiders are so dysfunctional right now...to give up a loss like that to a division rival...who dont even have a head coach...yeah, thats gonna get most coaches fired.
now watch Marc Davis hire Staley next month

Belichick is 71 yrs old and too old school for the Chargers. Hiring Jim Harbaugh would make the most sense especially with a good qb like Herbert to coach. But will owner Spanos spend the money to get him?

Their mistake was going to LA in the first place if you ask me. What made them think they wouldn't be about 7th in the sports pecking order perhaps just only above the Galaxy in terms of fandom? They could have had their run of a handful of cities desperate for NFL football.
Totally agree
The owner should have made it work in San Diego
They had a good fan base there

The Chargers have a QB but that job is a rebuild. Their cap situation with mediocre players is worse looking than anything Keim ever did.

Yeah I must admit my first thought was to wonder if they might bring Staley in as a "defensive consultant" or assistant. Like the Steelers did with Flores last year and others have done.
But my guess would be not. Doesn't seem like a Gannon thing to do.
While I agree, owners never seem to follow this unfortunately.

Chargers are $43mm over the cap next year.
if you are the Chargers -- aside from Herbert, who are your untouchable players?
are there any?

Keenan Allen sure would look nice in Red and White, as a 2-3 year WR... Especially if the Cards can draft MHJ or another 1st round WR.
