NFL media rights partners see Sean Payton replacing Brandon Staley with Chargers but don't count on it; Broncos' moves have imploded; Pete Carroll's trade haul gains luster
were given four years on the job by the same trio of leaders. Staley still has six games left in his second season, having posted a 15-13 record. Same as McCoy and Lynn — who both had more NFL experience than he did — Staley never served as a full-time head coach before the Spanoses and Telesco hired him.
That Payton won a Super Bowl as a head coach differentiates him from all Spanos hires of head coaches including the first hire, Al Saunders, a Chargers assistant whom Alex Spanos promoted into the head job after firing Don Coryell during the 1986 season.McCoy and Lynn ranked near the bottom of the NFL coaching pay scale, aligning them with several other Spanos hires. Payton would land near the top of the pay scale.
If there’s franchise precedent for firing Staley before his third season, the best comparison isn’t a good one. Kevin Gilbride’s ouster came seven weeks into his second season in 1998, but Gilbride’s teams had gone 4-12 and 2-4, a far cry from Staley’s marks of 9-8 and 6-5. The Chargers are tied with the Patriots for eighth place in the 16-team AFC, one spot outside the playoff lineup. The Patriots play in a tougher division headed by Miami , Buffalo and the New York Jets . While it would be a significant blemish if a Herbert-led offense again fell short of the playoffs — to which a seventh seed was added last year — Staley in seven weeks could be coaching in the wild-card round where Lynn appeared — and won — in his second year.
Tua Tagavailoa rates the exception. Call it a near-draw unrelated to Tua going one spot ahead of Herbert in the 2020 draft.
