Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley is in a tough spot. Staley’s crew misplaced one other shut recreation Sunday, and following the loss, he let reporters have it over the persevering with narrative that the workforce’s playoff loss to Jacksonville in January has carried over into this season. Whether or not that’s the case or not, Coach Watch 2023 is formally on, and Staley is among the many frontrunners to get axed in the course of the season. Staley has but to show that nameless government incorrect who known as him a “actually dangerous coach with an excellent roster.”
“I’m not anxious concerning the Jacksonville loss,” Staley mentioned. “The Jacksonville loss hasn’t carried on to this season by any means. In the event you’ve seen our coaching camp, otherwise you’ve seen the way in which we’ve performed within the first two video games, it hasn’t had an influence on our workforce by any means. Our workforce is related, our workforce has performed its coronary heart out the final two video games, and we’ve misplaced two powerful video games, nevertheless it has nothing to do with the Jacksonville recreation. And that’s simply the reality…”
Proper now, all that issues for the Chargers, and Staley is getting that first win. They’ve scored 58 factors within the first two weeks of the season and misplaced each video games by a mixed 5 factors. This workforce is way too proficient and has a head coach who was a defensive coordinator within the NFL for one yr earlier than taking on. He’s been given each likelihood different coaches don’t get, particularly when they’re black. Staley’s even had greater than many first-time white head coaches who by no means get a franchise quarterback. This man walked in, and Justin Herbert was able to go.
All Staley and his workers have executed in LA is waste a pair years of Herbert’s profession. That’s all. There doesn’t appear to be any sense of urgency, however that’s from the skin wanting in. And Staley doesn’t get all of the blame, as there have been occasions when Herbert and the offense haven’t come via in clutch moments, particularly in these tight video games. Nonetheless, the protection (Staley’s specialty) has continued to drop the ball most of the time.
The Chargers journey to Minnesota for a Week 3 matchup with the Vikings, then again residence to welcome their division rival Las Vegas Raiders. Seeing how the subsequent two weeks are basically street video games, Staley’s workforce is in a troublesome place main into the bye week. In the event that they head into the bye 0-4, we might have heard the final of Staley as head coach of the Chargers. It’s not splendid however dropping 4 video games to open the season in a troublesome AFC mainly means your postseason ambitions have evaporated. It’s too dangerous Austin Ekeler was out for the Chargers yesterday, it’d be fascinating to get his ideas on the loss.
