Some feel coach Brandon Staley should have been fired even though the Chargers made progress in each of his two seasons. It might take a title to save his job.
No more excuses. Brandon Staley is still running the defense. He has brought his type of players on board and drafted to his specifications. Can his defense finally produce?“As someone who loves sports, I understand why people feel that way,” Staley said. “I think the way the seasons have ended are two of the toughest ways you can lose.”
The two season-ending defeats have defined the 40-year-old Staley, overshadowing the progress the Chargers made leading up to them. When the Chargers decided to not fire Staley in the wake of the Jacksonville disaster, they staked the position that these improvements were a more accurate measure of him as a coach than the cartoonishly painful endings to their seasons.Chargers head Brandon Staley shakes hands with receiver Keenan Allen after losing to the Jaguars in an AFC playoff game.Staley was granted one of the most precious resources in professional sports: Time.
