Official Charger Season Discussion - News - Roster Moves - Injuries

So many eye opening comments from Michael Lombardi.

He says our problem is lack of toughness, and the only thing that is going to work is hiring someone capable of running the whole operation with a whole lot of juice.

With two HOFers, Reid and Payton in our division, Lombardi narrows it to Belichick, Harbaugh or David Shaw.

BB or Harbaugh would be great. Harbaugh is 1a and BB is 1b for me.

What we all have been saying for decades. Also he was a coach here, why didn’t he instill that needed toughness? Other coordinators do regardless of the HC. Lombardi is trash.

Michael Lombardi and Joe Lombardi are not the same person.

Just... you know... Sayin'.

Ben Johnson would create a great offense with Herbert, but that would not fix the Chargers problems. They need something more comprehensive, someone strong enough to manage the whole operation. David Shaw from Stanford was mentioned.

This is the essence of what Michael Lombardi had to say about our situation.

I have to say...

It was refreshing to wake up this morning, and have BOTH the Staley Era *and* the Telesco Era getting smaller in my rear view mirror.

Let the healing begin.

Yes, I’ve said this before. The franchise is soft, top to bottom. Especially at the top as Spanos are the softest group of Nepo babies around.

They need that galvanizer.

The biggest thing I am interested in seeing is, what does “New Vision” mean to Dean Spanos? It’s been a first time HC for the last 3 coaches. Does this actually mean he’s going to go with an experienced HC. And for the record, I do not want BB. He’s 72 and wouldn’t be here too long. The oldest HC I would go with is Harbaugh.

If it is a first time HC, it better be a coach that has a long track record of success wherever he has been, respected in the league, has a bit of an edge and confidence in what they are doing. That’s why Frank Smith, Eric Bieniemy and maybe Rich Bisaccia are the only first time HCs I would be ok with.

Whoever they hire I will always try to get on the wagon. But the “New Vision” comment intrigues me the most.

Did anyone see the shot of John talking to Dean up in the Box at Allegiant ??

It was as though John was babbling away, 'splainin' why he hired Staley...and Dean was FINALLY saying "STFU John ! "

[wu-dai clan]

Huh? Olsen the TE? And...Reddick? Wth would you hire those guys for GM? Lol, commentators to GM... brilliant

Mayock will fix it.

It’s hard for a father to admit his son has failed. After every advantage to succeed was given.

Whoops, thanks!

[Boltjolt]

Lombardi has no credibility with me. He is a Belicheck sycophant and really embarrassed himself defending joshy in Las vegas during his tenure

Plus he was a shitty GM when he had his chances. But, getting info isnt a skill if you have contacts, and he is right, we lack toughness.
I just have reservations about hiring a guy who is as old as BB. I know Carrol is 72 but he isnt coming in new, he been there a while and is running around the practice field.
Id rather just have Harbaugh is my feeling. Looking at possible GMs resume ive seen posted, Adam Peters is pretty impressive. He has been what JohnBoy is/was and likely better at that than JB is. Take a back seat JohnBoy!
