Okay, we know the Spanos curse isn’t going anywhere. So, given that, assume you are in an executive position to mandate changes and remedies for a 2020 outing in a new stadium, where making a splash and a genuine Super Bowl run are of genuine interest. What would you do, based on the Lynn era to date?
I would (probably):
- See who might be available for GM; if potentially better than TT, make the change
- Fire Lynn before the end of the season to start the search early; promote the water boy to acting head coach (does it really matter?). Fire Lynn’s staff after season. Start from scratch.
- Seriously look at drafting a QB prospect
- Seek vets for OL and DL
- Draft OL and DL
- Look for vet LB to replace Davis

Not the usual vote of confidence from the f.o. Feels like the end |

Posted in another thread.......
Losing always has the fans wanting to fire everyone, but it just isn't wise to be so reactionary.
I fire Lynn at season end, I do so because he is making that same mistakes as his first season. I believe he is maxed out as a HC. Never winning a Super Bowl with him, so he is gone. I have seven weeks of season left roughly, so I have time to find my next HC. If that new HC wants to assemble his own group of coaches, I fire the entire coaching staff at seasons end. I like Gus, but not afraid to move on either.
TT stays.......but I would love to know exactly how the decisions are being made. I think J Spanos is part of the problem, but from the outside, I will never know. Ownership involved directly with the process always carry too much weight in deciding things.....or so I think.
Rivers stays as well.....franchise QB's are far too difficult to come by. That said, I would like to know if Rivers is changing plays as he sees fit, and has a too bad attitude towards the HC/OC on this. If so, I would put an end to that, or not resign him. I get changing the play, but that needs to be the exception, not the rule. The coaching staff decides, not the players.....run the play called.
With six losses already, the PO's are not happening......losing out would be awesome for draft slotting. Let the new HC set the bar for expectations......

You’ll note my suggestions generally track your comments. Where we may diverge is timing and assumptions as to GM. |

Enough changing plays in hostile stadium so loud your teamates cant hear you and running the playclock down to under 3 seconds every play. Spastically clapping your hands when its <3 sec just makes it easier for Defense to get a jump on your snap. Dont even get me started on throwing into double coverage prevent defense. I am ready for change.

Pretty certain he was agreeing to the content of the paragraph above the one you put in bold. 10-6 would require a six game winning streak, while not impossible, it would be highly unlikely.......8-8 or 7-9 seems more probable, and both would not make the PO's in my view.

I am ready for change. One additional aspect I would get rid of is the OG pointing to the ground as a signal to the OC that Rivers is ready for the snap. Might as well just tell the defence when the play is starting.

Fire the coach. Fire the GM. Fire the HoF QB. You can’t make this crap up. What about the fans. The Chargers have the worst can’t hold their water fanbase in the NFL.
Nut up for GAWD’s sake.

So your trolling will cost you one day without your bag. I much as I would love to be wrong about the record, there is just too much inconsistency across the board to provide me enough evidence to hope the other way
