Charger Coordinator/Staffing News and Discussion

[Lone Bolt]

If hired as OC for Steelers, the CHargers get a 3rd round pick? That’s a good return for a one year assistant coach. Pep did well with Herbert and I liked what I saw of him interacting with the team during training camp (real nice dialogue with Ingram then). But he was not a very good OC in Indy with Luck. Just don’t think he will be great in that role.

I don't think so....think it's OC to a head coach position...to get the pick

Correct. Only those hired as HC or GM.

I think Pep has to be with us for at least two years in order to get a draft pick.

Edit: never mind

LOL...when you use "they" as a source, with the implication of a consensus opinion amongst a very large group, you gotta do better than 5 good ol' boys from the TPBs..:hello:

If I gave u 20 more, u would still complain and say it's not enough...sheesh...

[Topcat]

I think he should start a poll...about whether we can use nicknames...in polls about nicknames...:More Q Please:

LOL...Lone, that reminds me of when I was a public school teacher...and the district office kept slamming the teachers with different surveys, LONG surveys...buried us in paperwork...so the teachers complained...and guess what their solution was? The district sent out ANOTHER SURVEY asking the teachers if there were TOO MANY SURVEYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So...either I missed this earlier, or it broke late last night...Chargers expected to hire Asst. Head Coach/LB coach Joe Barry of the Rams to be the defensive passing game coordinator/LB coach. On paper, that is barely a lateral move...I get the feeling Staley is a rising star, and it is well recognized, and coaches, young and old, are eager to grab on for the ride...even if it means leaving McVay.

In his press conference, he went into deflection mode pretty quick when asked about the interview block on O'Connell...methinks there is still activity there...if that is the case, then O'Connell may want to leave McVay to coach with Staley? Another ringing endorsement on Staley...

By the way...anyone else notice increased use of the title coordinator...like "defensive passing game coordinator" and "run game coordinator". I haven't paid attention to a staff assembly in a long time, but isn't that kinda new? Maybe they are using it to give appearance of promotion...or to garner a coordinator to HC award of draft pick...or maybe they have been using it for years, and I just now noticed, lol...just curious.

Seattle and Chargers want to interview Joe Lombardi, Saints QB coach

Lombardi was the OC at Mercyhurst (I guess its a college) when Staley was QB there in 2005

Not sure I am on board with this one. I want Staley to feel comfortable who he is hiring but we don't want hires that are comfortable because of a past history with the person (Barry with the Rams; Rodgers with the Bears) -meaning George Stewart hires. I get that coaches like to have a connection with some assistants they hire, that makes sense too. But I guess will just have to see who the final OC is. I did like what I saw of his presser.

With coordinators leaving left and right we do need new titles like "coordinator in waiting" after this talented coach gets promoted in a couple of years. We know your smart and capable but just a bit green! LOL!

Ok I want Steichen to be replaced by someone better for sure by Lombardi ain’t it.

Lions fans made this just a few years ago when he was their OC.

If the names to date are STeichen, Pep and Lombardi -- of course if Pep wants to find a new path, thats fine - but I would take Pep of those three

Oh yeah me too. But looks like Chargers don’t really value him seeing as their letting him interview with Steelers and other teams I think.

Saints style offense dumping it down to RB's. Herbert can get more vertical than Brees so can open it up more.
