For something more fun than the 2020 Chargers, we may as well engage in the time-honored Chargers fan tradition of hoping for better next season.
Imagine that you are in the position of Spanos—except you have a spine and care about football outcomes.
Do you keep TT? If not, who replaces him?
What’s your coaching staff (at least the HC, DC, and OC)?
What are your draft priorities based upon the team today?

Is one of my options to request that the NFL come in and force me to sell my team?

TT stays......
Lynn and the entire staff is released.....at season conclusion would be the preference.
I would be creating my list, and perhaps even reaching out quietly.
I would speak with Chris Petersen, find out if there is any interest. Not likely, but I would affirm that.
I would plan on busting the budget for HC, OC and DC costs. Clearly done with the low cost staff.
TT should be cautious in FA signings, and I would stay far away from any big dollar signings.
Draft focus needs to be OL.......UDFA needs to be OL focused as well.....

Mine should be well known... Hire Urban Meyer no matter the cost. Urban Meyer determines whether TT stays or not and then gets sole decision making on his staff. Whether TT stays or goes, anyone named Spanos gets kicked out of the War Room on draft day. Draft Penei Sewell in the first Followed by DL, OL, CB, and RB Bring in a free agent WR to compliment Slayer.
GET A DANG COMPETENT KICKER!!!

I’m in the “TT should stay unless they can bring in someone materially better” camp.
Is John Dorsey better? Are there other options?
The coaching staff should absolutely be fired. But it might be worth something to at least see what’s out there—that is, *if* John Spanos either isn’t in charge now, or can stay hands off later.

Owners do not get fired, nor do they get pushed out of the process. Similarly, I would never let the HC determine the GM.....it simply does not work that way. Meyer is a really big step up from Lynn's incompetence, but not a HC to my liking, easy pass on him for me. Well yea.....but Sewell is very likely long gone before the Bolts get their pick. That said, getting OL is a very big priority.....not sure I pass superior talent in round 1, but 2 onward it needs to get done. Round 1 probably fixes the CB need......OL and DL the rest of the way. UDFA WR's, RB's and even more OL guys.....

Clearly done with the low cost staff. Draft focus needs to be OL.......UDFA needs to be OL focused as well..... After a season with zero income from ticket sales I seriously don't believe Spanos will have the funds nor be willing to spend them if he has to hire a top notch big name coach or OC /DC.
He will go for someone willing to work for less to get their chance to be a head coach in the league for the 1st time.

hmmm. I wonder................................let me think...................................... You know, I would guess they will bring in a "name" guy now. Doing what you listed has never worked for them before. You have their historical pattern; I have a hunch they break their mold. Do we know what happens when I get hunches ?

Until they fix the OL group, spending big dollars in free agency on a WR and RB is like putting three thousand dollar wheels on a four hundred dollar car.

You spend the money on Meyer, let him choose his staff and draft Sewell. I doubt he would be "long" gone with Trevor Lawrence a guaranteed pick #1... Are you forgetting our record? We will likely be picking in the top 5, so I give us a pretty darn good chance of landing Sewell.

We will likely be picking in the top 5, so I give us a pretty darn good chance of landing Sewell. TT has done a fairly solid job as GM, and he does seem to fit with J Spanos, at least publicly. Sewell is looking like a 3rd or 4th pick to me at this point. Clearly the Bolts will be drafting top 10, so there is a chance. If Sewell is there, it is not a difficult choice, is it? If they got Sewell @5th, then perhaps trade some futures to get back into round 1 again and grab another OT, or maybe the OC Humphrey.
