The LA Chargers announced that they hired Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Brandon Staley to be the team’s next head coach late Sunday night. Staley has one season of being a DC under his belt and the hiring was surprising for many fans.
The consensus among the fanbase was that the Chargers would hire an offensive-minded head coach to help with the development of Justin Herbert.
