They are interviewing everyone and it is spanos decision. Spanos does not care if he went to st. Francis. He wants someone who owns the room and demands respect from the players. Maybe that’s him, I have no idea. Which is why I prefaced my statement to, "the longer the Chargers' job draws out" - because as time goes on and the coaching carousel has fewer and fewer seats available, the more it seems IMO that Daboll is the priority for L.A. I hope Daboll stays as he's done a remarkable job and I don't want him going anywhere!!! But, L.A. would also seem to be quite a good fit for him, the Telesco "ghost" connection aside.

I am, and have been convinced that Daboll is going to LA. This idea that Teleseco and Daboll, went to the same high school two years apart, both played football but never spoke is ridiculous.

Or would they be warded off by his handling of Wentz? I think Jason Garrett is the guy that the Chargers are going to end up with and I think he's a good hire for a team that probably needs an experienced coach. Smith has been offered the Atlanta job also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saleh impressed you as that. Meyer has developed players in college. Who are the others that could fit that description? On a side note, I wonder how much perception plays into that, specifically sideline demeanor. You'd like to think the front offices wouldn't take that into account much, but Daboll might be at a disadvantage because he is up in the coaching box. Not that it's the end all be all, but when you consider many owners are too involved in the process you get guys that look good on tv versus knowing football. (see Ryan, Rex) And of course those teams selecting on looks seem to be selecting new coaches more often also. Maybe Daboll decides to go down to the sidelines next year assuming he misses the musical chair routine this year.

TheFunPolice Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Dan Campbell? LOL Look for a new rule next season that gives the team who hires "an offensive coordinator from Kansas City" as head coach 3 2022 1st round picks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthomas Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Dan Orlovsky on the Pat McAfee show just said its a given that Daboll accepts the Chargers job & thats why LA hasn't hired anyone yet. Dude was 100% convinced Daboll was going there. I'd prefer Daboll stay but if he were gonna leave for anyone, the Chargers do make the most sense 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is 100% a trend this year that teams are looking for leaders not Xs and Os guys. Campbell from what you read fits that bill too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could they legally already have deal in place? Can they discuss it during season while they still have head coach? Or could they approach him somehow after Lynn was fired? I thought he was not allowed to have interviews/contact until we are done in playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkeerie Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I think Daboll is a good OC, but I also think Josh has done more for Josh than anyone. He figured out how to improve his throwing motion etc. Add in Diggs...that was the game changer. I'd love to keep the band together, but I'm not worried if he leaves. Josh won't fall apart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
