Here's a list of former Rivera colleagues that could potentially be looked at for staff spots if Rivera gets the head coaching job.

JOHN RAMSDELL

Current: Chargers QB Coach

Connection: Chargers QB Coach (07-present)

Possibility: Been written that his contract is up; very possible if true.

CHARLIE JOINER

Current: Chargers WR Coach

Options: OC, WR Coach

Connection: Chargers WR Coach (08-present)

Possibility: He's a former Charger player and getting results. Have to imagine they'd like to keep him.

ROB CHUDZINSKI

Current: Chargers TE Coach

Options: OC, TE Coach

Connection: Chargers TE Coach (09-present)

Possibility: Decent, but I'm not a big fan based on his prior resume'.

CLARENCE SHELMON

Possibility: Pretty good. He's available and they're acquainted.

RON TURNER

DAVE TOUB

Current: ST Coach, Bears

DON JOHNSON

Current: DL Coach, Chargers

Options: DL Coach

Connection: Bears DL Coach (05-06) Chargers DL Coach (09-10)

The names that most interest me from this list are Ramsdell, Babich and Toub. I seriously doubt Toub is attainable, but six years of working together makes me think Rivera would at least make the attempt (never hurts to ask).

Not a big Childress fan, but I could live with him as a QB coach. Likewise, I could see an interest in Ron Turner as QB coach more so than OC.

My first choice for DC would be Rob Ryan, but Babich could be good too. In my dreams, we'd get Ryan as DC and Babich as an LB coach, but that's one of those "if that happens I'll shave my head" type scenarios.

Some of the non-acquainted possibilities that interest me are former Cowboy WR coach Ray Sherman and former Vikings OC Darrell Bevell. The Vikes also let go of offensive line coach Pat Morris and are expected to be parting ways with Special Teams Coach Brian Murphy shortly.

McCoy wouldnt be bad at all for an OC. Look what he did with Orton last year... hell, he made The Golden Calf of Bristol look like a QB and he made a QB no one ever heard of (Delhomme) make it to the Super Bowl.

I think McCoy was kinda how it was with Andy Reid and Brad Childress was in Philly. A yes man where the HC called the offense.

    • 6 pages of tuka and Seltzer arguing is actually 97 pages long
    • 100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.  
    • "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
