You might want to check the history of the spanos family before saying that…

As owners, you're saying Tepper is better?

There is more data to prove that Dean Spanos is more of a bad owner than there is data to support that Tepper is worse.  Spanos has known to be a terrible owner for decades.

Not quite aware of who he may have ties to from a HC perspective. Person confirmed Wilks would go after Brian Johnson to be his OC, maybe Manuel is his pick for DC?

We are literally asking to interview everyone lol I’ll be very happy when this is over.

That's an awfully ballsy stance on David Tepper, but OK. Guess we'll see how it ages.

Staff will have a list for the HC to choose from if they don't have their own guy.  For example, Ben Johnson is 36 years old and while he's been in the NFL since 2012, he doesn't have a strong list of DC options he has ties too.  He worked with Vance Joseph for one season, but looks like Joseph could be staying in Arizona.  So front office would likely give him (or anyone ie Steichen, Wilks, etc) a list of candidates they like.

I figured he would keep Holcomb on as DC... This sounds like an indicator they may be shying away from Wilks

No it isn't.  Spanos is legit a horrible horrible horrible owner BEYOND just football.

Maybe, maybe Tepper gets there one day.  But you can't match the Spanos' terribleness in 5 years.

I mean the Spanos family has owned the Chargers for nearly 20 years and the franchise has 5 total playoff wins in that timeframe with Rivers and Herbert as franchise QBs. The Tepper era hasn't gotten off to a roaring start, to say the least, but let's see how the next 5-10 years play out.

I feel like my statements are pretty risk averse. If you read through those... you will understand why your statement about Tepper being a worse owner than the Spanos family will have no merit.

Sounds like there’s a clear top two manifesting here.

Wilks isn’t getting the job. Accept it.

I am very pleased with how we’re handling this process. Do not give into the pressure of hiring a mediocre coach that will keep us exactly where we have been our entire existence. Talking to potential coordinators of your new coach is incredibly forward thinking. Give me Shane or Ben and let’s finally try something different for once.

Fine by me. I'm in the Johnson or Steichen camp.
