7 candidates to replace Brandon Staley after the Chargers fired their head coach (including Bill Belichick!?)
The Chargers’ Brandon Staley era has come to an end.
Los Angeles cleaned house on Friday morning by removing Staley as head coach and Tom Telesco as general manager.
That wouldn’t have been surprising if it happened before Thursday night’s 63-21 loss to the Raiders, but it sure seemed like a foregone conclusion afterwards.
Staley seemed to know he was nearing the end a few weeks ago when he made quite a prescient comment about losing the locker room. Fortunately for the next regime, this is a team with a ton of talent on the roster and may not need too many tweaks to get back on track.
