Brandon Staley was fired after putting forward seven top prospects for the Chargers’ head coach job, including Bill Belichick.
The Los Angeles Chargers fired head coach Joe Staley on Friday, just a few hours after his team lost by 42 points against the Las Vegas Raiders after giving up 63 points.
In his three years as an NFL head coach, Staley went 24–24 and didn’t win a championship game in Justin Herbert at quarterback. You can put together other teams like this one.
Even though Staley came to the Chargers via experience as a defensive back, his teams in L.A. weren’t very good. After firing Staley and replacing him with Tom Telesco, the Chargers will require a long-term fix.
It was never better than 20th in yards scored per game or 27th in points given per game during his three years in charge.
It was the 31st worst team in the NFL in terms of points allowed per game (24.8) and yards lost per game (359.6) during Staley’s three years in charge.
Los Angeles is expected to be $42,186,936 in the salary cap going into the offseason.
They have a team full of players who are overpaid and huge holes that need to be filled in the draft. In short, the San Diego Chargers won’t be fixing up this roster this summer for 2024 or later.
Who would be the best people for the Chargers job in this situation? Herbert is still going strong at quarterback for Los Angeles.
Keenan Allen as well as Mike Williams are both great wide receivers, and Rashawn Slater is a star left tackle.
After their latest loss from the Las Vegas Raiders, the Los Angeles Chargers decided to fire head coach Brandon Staley.
During his three years with the team, Staley’s record was 24–24, and he never won a championship game in quarterback Justin Herbert.
The Chargers’ defense also had a hard time when Staley was in charge. It never finished higher than 20th within yards allowed every game and 27th in scores allowed per game.
The Chargers need a long-term fix now that Staley as well as general manager Tom Telesco have been fired. However, the team’s expected price cap for the offseason is higher than the number of players they need to add.
The LA Chargers said in a statement on Friday why they fired Tom Telesco as general manager and Brandon Staley as coach. But the team’s success on Thursday night meant that there was no need for any more explanation.
On “Thursday Night Football,” the Chargers lost to the Las Vegas Raiders 63–21. People across the country watched what happened after a season of mistakes, anger, and guesswork about what happened Friday.
The general manager was fired at the same time as Staley’s expected exit. This showed how disappointed the owners were with the team, which started the season via Super Bowl hopes but could now be the worst in the NFL.
It was the most points that the Chargers had ever put up and the most points the Raiders had ever scored in a game.
After the game, Staley said he was sure his players retained their faith in him, but it didn’t seem to matter because the Chargers lost their third-worst game in team history and are now 5-9.
Coach Giff Smith, who is in charge of the outside linebackers, was named temporary head coach by the Chargers.
JoJo Wooden was named interim general manager. Feel free to ask and get answers about what happened and what will happen next.
It was embarrassing for the Chargers. embarrassing in the past. The Raiders had been without All-Pro defensive back Josh Jacobs since Week 12 and were led by acting coach Antonio Pierce.
They started rookie qb Aidan O’Connell and scored a franchise-record 63 points against the Chargers in “Thursday Night Football.”
Before this loss, it looked like Staley would probably make it to the end of the season without being fired by Dean Spanos and John Spanos.
In their last six games, though, the Chargers have lost five and lost by 42 points to a team that already fired its head coach.
The Chargers had what looked like one of the best teams in the NFL on paper. But Staley’s defense often allow the team down. In all three seasons he was in charge, it was near the bottom of the league.
Top players like offensive lineman Khalil Mack and cornerback J.C. Jackson were signed by Telesco.
They also got other bright players that Staley had coached before, like defensive guards Sebastian Joseph-Day and Morgan Fox. But it never came true.
