The "Let's speculate about the front office" thread

[john van brocklin]

I doubt any evaluation centered solely upon the final score of the divisional game but on his body of work. Hopefully everyone will be honest about coaching re-hires. They have happened just as quickly numerous times in any professional team sports league for too many decades to count.

That said, Kellen Moore's coaching career could blossom or wither from this point forward. Only time will tell.

I will be watching the Chargers closely next season.
I am really curious how this will play out.

I know the media has not given us much, if any info, on the decision making process of the front office regarding
the firing of the coaches that have been let go so far this off season.

I thought it would be interesting to see what theories we can come up with.

First, I was very surprised that Moore was let go.
I thought he was Jerry's handpicked wonder boy, HC in waiting,
Garrett 2.0.

So here we go :

1. Mac has consolidated power and won over Jerry's confidence and was able to fire Moore?
2. Stephen is now in charge, and saw the Moore was not getting the best out of Dak ?
3. Jerry, in a surprising moment of clarity realized that Moore's Offense and Dak were not a good fit?
4. What do you got ?

I think it's more of Mike's seat is filled with the hottest coals that you'll find, and he's being allowed one year to try it his way. Failure will result in Dan Quinn taking over.

"Chaos" is the first word that comes to my mind.

Anything to distract from what the Real Issue is.

I'm going to need to see where you're getting this "Kellen Moore was fired" news at.

Everything I've seen said it was a mutual decision and Moore was with the Chargers less than 24 hours later.

You would be correct.
I read it was Mutual as well.

Moore made a lateral move to get away from Dak before his career coaches chances went down.

Very much possible.
Also possible, he wanted to get away from such a dysfunctional situation.

Here’s the FO thoughts, they’ve been shockingly similar for years on end:

Everyone is on notice, jobs are at stake, with the exception of GM and the Director of Player Personnel.

Absolutely fascinating.

I think it's #3. Jerry continues to get humbled - first was realizing that Garrett had to go. That was the biggest domino to fall because it showed that there is a breaking point for everyone. No one is safe forever, no matter how much Jerry wants them to succeed. Now Jerry knows his chosen QB and OC are not good enough to get them over the hump. It's easier to get rid of the OC for now but Dak is definitely next. They're just forced to keep him around a little longer due to the contract but his time is coming eventually

Great big picture description. Spot on imo.
