Chargers Epic Collapse Means…
Brandon Staley gets fired on the tarmac.
This guy played all his starters in a meaningless game. Gets his top WR Mike Williams injured in the game. Despite that, goes up 27-0 and blows the game against Trevor Lawrence, who threw an NFL record 4 picks in the 1st half!!!!, and the Jags.
This means Sean Payton is likely taking the Chargers’ job and Denver might back up the brinks truck for Harbaugh.

Chargers are no longer in SD…

If he was just using the NFL to renegotiate, he seemingly could have done that less than a year ago when he signed his current contract.
January 15th, 2023 at 12:28 AM ^
Staley has not been fired. You're throwing out hypotheticals to stir the button soup pot. Go to bed Rubik.
January 15th, 2023 at 1:31 AM ^
He hasn't but it was being talked about during the season that he was basically coaching for his job. Detroit can go 9-8 and have it feel like a terrific year to build on. The Chargers feel their window is now-now and anything short of a deep run in the playoff would get him fired for an offensive guy.
The NFL guys get some college moves wrong but guys like Schefter get their info from The NFL. They're media arms of The League. If they're insinuating something is going to happen, bet that it's being shared by the people making the decision.
Not to say echo chambers don't exist, just that this isn't a new rumor with Staley. I'd bet that he's fired, at best brought back on the hottest seat imaginable.
If fired, it absolutely will move some pieces as a lot of coaches will want what they have in place. If I'm Payton, I'm going there before I go to Denver. If that happens, Denver is now desperate and wild shit happens when a proud NFL franchise gets desperate.

Like this?

Honestly, I think the Op missed the headliner
Per MGO common law the title of this thread must be:
OSU Alum Joey Bosa's Poor Display of Sportsmanship Helps Lead to Epic Jaguar Comeback
can you please fix this mods?

I was rolling after he slammed his helmet, an assistant handed it back to him and he slammed it again!!😂😅

If Dallas loses Monday night, I think Harbaugh to the NFL goes up. That's a lot of teams looking for coaches.
January 15th, 2023 at 3:10 AM ^
If Harbaugh didn't like SF ownership, Dallas won't be in play. Jerry Jones is the exemplar of meddling-jackass, third-base-triple of ownership.
January 15th, 2023 at 9:00 AM ^
Dallas and Payton is a foregone conclusion.
January 15th, 2023 at 10:58 AM ^
While you are right about Jerry being a meddling asshole (still, it is his business, after all), he wasn't born on third base. First base with a good jump on stealing second, maybe, but Jerry has hustled his whole adult life. You can certainly argue that his ethics need some scrutiny, but show me a billionaire where that isn't the case.
Anyway, this whole post (except for the Crybaby Bosa posts - HaHaHaHaHa) is playing on our collective fear of losing Harbaugh just when he seems to have figured it out. Of course, Jimmy wants to strike when the iron's hot and that entails a) hiring an agent, and b) maximizing leverage. But, while it's been shrouded in some vagueness for purposes of said leverage, everything Jim has said himself seems to point at how much he loves Michigan and wants to stay.
So, the question to me boils down to what level of sincerity is Harbaugh bringing into his (albeit limited) statements to the public? I choose to believe that Jim Harbaugh is, at his core, a genuine and sincere person. When has he ever consciously lied to the Michigan fan base, like a Bobby Petrino, Lane Kiffen, or even Nick Saban has when they were jumping ship? Why construct scenarios that put him in a position to be someone he has never demonstrated himself to be?

Spare me Jerry Jones-plaining. Dude was actively involved in segregation protests when he was a teen. Suspect as fuck.
January 15th, 2023 at 1:34 AM ^
Jim or not, that collapse could absolutely cause his firing and it will set in motion a run on coaching moves. Once Payton decides/is moved, other teams are going to get trigger happy. If Dallas loses it's going to cause some outright mayhem.
January 15th, 2023 at 4:39 AM ^
Barring a super bowl run, I think Payton is going to the Cowboys no matter what.
January 15th, 2023 at 4:49 AM ^
It's a "Jump to Conclusions Mat". You see, you have this mat, with different CONCLUSIONS written on it that you could JUMP TO.
January 15th, 2023 at 7:25 AM ^
It is horrible, this idea.
January 15th, 2023 at 5:21 AM ^
It means what coulda shoulda for the Lions, they smacked up the Jags pretty good when they played them at home. I think they would have matched up well against the Niners. Oh well, back to more mock drafts...
January 15th, 2023 at 6:07 AM ^
To me, all this really means is that it reinforces Urban Meyer being the worst NFL coach in recent memory. Maybe in NFL history.
January 15th, 2023 at 6:42 AM ^
Nobody in LA likes the San Diego Chargers. So it is kind of fun to see them have an epic collapse…especially when a Bosa is involved. 😬
January 15th, 2023 at 7:28 AM ^
Bosa basically cost them the game at the end getting an unsportsmanlike penalty which allowed the Jags to go for 2 from the 1 which was the winning margin in the end. Although it was another horrendous missed call by the idiotic NFL refs that sent Bosa into his tirade.Funny that the ref on the telecast backed up the no call only to have Tony Dungy tell him he was wrong.
January 15th, 2023 at 8:31 AM ^
January 15th, 2023 at 12:04 PM ^
LOL…but radio hosts in LA still unintentionally call them San Diego all the time. They are not LA and are only renters. Raiders fans are still the more passionate fan base, but the Rams are the team the kids love (and older adults). Several polls show that of LA fans, only 10-15% identify as Chargers…the other 90% are split between Rams and Raiders (which is close to 50/50 now). You just don’t see Chargers gear (maybe Orange County is different). Hopefully Spanos sells and the team moves back to San Diego.
January 15th, 2023 at 10:41 AM ^
Nobody in San Diego likes the Spanos family, and I am one of many who wishes they could be fired into the center of 10,000 suns for their mistreatment of the local fans. I can only hope this is level 1 of their infinite hell.
January 15th, 2023 at 8:11 AM ^
I won my bet an epic fashion
January 15th, 2023 at 8:19 AM ^
Sorry I fell asleep
January 15th, 2023 at 8:30 AM ^
Harbaugh is not looking for another job!
Take a deep breath and wait for the news on the new contract
January 15th, 2023 at 8:53 AM ^
Lol some of you just love being miserable.
January 15th, 2023 at 9:02 AM ^
Hahaha! Fuck you, Spanos!
- signed,
Everyone in San Diego
January 15th, 2023 at 9:28 AM ^
By the way, how about the job Brian is doing as QB coach for SF? He has a bright future as an OC and eventually as an HC. Can we say possible future UM coach?
January 15th, 2023 at 9:33 AM ^
I don't think LAC moving on from Staley demonstrably changes the NFL for Harbaugh. The Broncos don't have much of a future with declining Wilson and no great draft capital for a couple of seasons at least, and the Chargers (from what I've gathered) have the type of meddling/cheap owner that wouldn't jive with Harbaugh.
January 15th, 2023 at 5:55 PM ^
So you don't think he would take the Broncos job IF it were offered to him?
January 15th, 2023 at 9:44 AM ^
Losing to the Jags in the playoffs is absolutely a fireable offense lmao
January 15th, 2023 at 9:59 AM ^
No idea why the OP is getting negged other than people here just don’t like to hear bad news.
I had the exact same thought and it is certainly a strong possibility that is how the coaching dominoes could fall at this point.
January 15th, 2023 at 11:24 AM ^
A choke for the ages!
January 15th, 2023 at 12:13 PM ^
According to Mapquest, it's 130 miles from Coronado to SoFi Stadium and from Coronado to El Segundo, where the Chargers are going to build their new training facility. You can probably get lot more use out of a beach home in Coronado while you work in LA than while you work in Ann Arbor.
January 15th, 2023 at 1:20 PM ^
I also thought about that, I think Staley may get another year, but if they don't win a playoff game next year, then he would be out, and that's a pretty good situation, given their top-end talent.
January 15th, 2023 at 2:52 PM ^
If anything you have it backwards. Jim began his coaching career in San Diego. And it's the top place to live. He can join Hoke.
January 15th, 2023 at 5:30 PM ^
What happened to the block user function?
January 15th, 2023 at 8:24 PM ^
I don’t think he’s going anywhere. Denver will get some retread.
