Adam Gase hasn't been fired yet.I don’t even know where to start. Easily the worst coach in the league. How has he not been fired ?!?
I've asked that question many times over the last few years.I don’t even know where to start. Easily the worst coach in the league. How has he not been fired ?!?
Pretty much every game is like this. They did take the abject stupidity up a notch today, but the abject stupidity is a constant. And lack of discipline. And bad game plans. And lack of preparedness. And...Good coordinator who just isn't cut from the HC cloth. This is the first Chargers game I've watched start to finish this year, and his game management was just appallingly bad.
Lynn is worse. Wayyyy worseAdam Gase hasn't been fired yet.
Is that a possibility? Would be great yes!As a Herbert owner it would be nice to see the Chargers get Bieniemy as their next HC to bring some of the KC offensive philosophy with him.
LAC and HOU have the best QBs of the teams that are likely to change coaches, and LAC is much better off draft picks-wise.Is that a possibility? Would be great yes!
This has been the promote genius OC to coach gameplan for decades, yet when a "brilliant" OC becomes a HC it becomes clear his brilliance is usually contingent upon HOF QB play.As a Herbert owner it would be nice to see the Chargers get Bieniemy as their next HC to bring some of the KC offensive philosophy with him.
Isn't that the fault of OC Shane Steichen?They ran the ball twice inside the 5 yard line down by 10 with no timeouts and 15 seconds left.
Sure that’s a possibility but Andy Reid also has a real good coaching tree so Bieniemy may be the next coach to emerge.This has been the promote genius OC to coach gameplan for decades, yet when a "brilliant" OC becomes a HC it becomes clear his brilliance is usually contingent upon HOF QB play.
That said ......
Running KC O with Herbert does make sense.
A grocery store is an essential business. A football team is not.What are they waiting for?! He shouldn’t be running a grocery store let alone a football team.
Voiceover: "Lynn was fired the next morning."
The main reason is you can start your search and hiring process earlier than teams like the Jets who will wait until after the season.I'm not big on firing coaches during a season unless there is a way the change gets me to the playoffs. So in the NFL or college football, with so few games what's the point? You aren't really making a statement. At best you bring in an interim coach and he does sorta OK, but gets canned with all the staff at year end anyway. I like the idea of making a bad coach go through the motions and press conferences and practices as a punishment.
That makes no sense. The Jets probably started their process 5 weeks ago. Gase doesn't have to be gone for them to start the process. Same for Lynn. He can be in SD while the GM looks at the next option.The main reason is you can start your search and hiring process earlier than teams like the Jets who will wait until after the season.
The Fords suck hard to be sure. But at least they continue to keep the team in Detroit. Spanos is a bad owner in ways beyond just the end result product on the field.Seeing these posts make me wonder if people realize the Fords and the Lions still exist.
I mean, they just fired an equally bad coach.
I have 2 concerns.menobrown said:If he was not exposed as a bad head coach before yesterday he got all of his cover ripped away.
Still, I think it's best to let him finish the year. As Brunell4MVP was saying I don't see a benefit. He's not a bad guy, have heard from a few people he's a very solid guy who is well liked. That only matters in the sense he's not casting a negative pall over the organization. Other then obvious impact of losing I don't think he contributes to a negative culture.
Primary goal for the team should be developing Herbert for ROS or maybe primary goal should be not getting him killed with secondary goal of continuing his development. Unless the decision makers on the team think Lynn is stunting Herbert's growth by remaining as head coach for the last few games it seems like it's best to let him finish out the season.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports no head coaching change is "imminent" for the Chargers.
The organization reportedly prefers to evaluate its coaching staff at the end of the year. Lynn, one of the league's most disastrous decision-makers at the head of the table, has gone 8-20 with the Chargers over the last two seasons since leading the team to a conference-best 12-4 record in 2018. Los Angeles has also hit rock bottom on offense over the last month, averaging an abysmal 4.5 yards per play despite having one of the most talented quarterbacks in the league at its disposal. It's entirely plausible the Chargers still hang onto Lynn's contract this offseason since he's highly respected in its front office. If that were the case, the remaining three AFC West teams will rejoice.

<insert curse word here in all caps>!!!!!!!!!It's entirely plausible the Chargers still hang onto Lynn's contract this offseason since he's highly respected in its front office.
NFL teams are considering former Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn for their offensive coordinator openings.
ESPN's Dianna Russini said Lynn "is on a few lists" after being fired by the Chargers, though no teams were named in her report. Lynn went 33-31 in four seasons with the Chargers, going 1-1 in the postseason. Before coaching the Chargers, Lynn served as running backs coach with the Jets, then as offensive coordinator in Buffalo after the team parted ways with Greg Roman. In-game decisions weren't Lynn's bright spot in LA, but perhaps his offensive acumen could land him a job in the coming weeks.
