After parting ways with Anthony Lynn, the Chargers found the new man in charge, with the hiring of former Rams defensive coordinator Brandon Staley.
The announcement came after Staley flew in for his second interview. It came as a bit of a surprise to some fans, knowing the Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll was viewed as the favorite.
However, the 38-year old must have impressed the upper management in his interviews, guaranteeing success on both sides of the football and positive results for years to come.
How did the general population react to Los Angeles’ hiring of Staley? Let’s take a look at some of the top tweets.
Re: concerns w/ Brandon Staley being a “defensive coach” and Justin Herbert being a young QB…
Staley was a highly decorated HS QB in Ohio, played QB at Dayton, and has connected w/ QB’s at the Community College, D3, D1, and NFL levels.
Chargers got a great HC today. @gmfb

Brandon Staley held a DC role, but the way he sees the game and developed his scheme was incepted in how an offensive mind would try to attack a defense. That's why Sean McVay hired him – to be the smarter plan that counters the smart offenses, and to challenge his own.

THANK YOU @Chargers! I don’t want to hear a single one of you complain without doing your homework on Brandon Staley. Staley is going to be SO refreshing and will completely flip this culture. LET’S GO! #BoltUp

My first thoughts on the Brandon Staley hire: He must have a damn good plan for his offensive coaching staff. https://t.co/WzEjOw4TKe

With Brandon Staley getting the Chargers job, there are now two Vic Fangio defenses in the AFC West pic.twitter.com/nfp4OXrbuF

Brandon Staley is getting:
CHJ
Hayward
Bosa
Linval
Perryman
Murray
Derwin James
Adderley
Ingram if re-signed
Tillery
Etc.That's a surefire top-5 defense. I'd bet on it, barring injuries.

I think Brandon Staley will be a fine head coach for Chargers. But pretty incredible he got a head coach job ahead of Eric Bieniemy, whose Chiefs are hosting 3rd consecutive AFC title game. #9sports

My first choice was Daboll but Brandon Staley is good too. Last time we had a defensive minded head coach was Marty, and we went 14-2. Hopefully he can make our defense scary like it truly supposed to be 🔥 https://t.co/AXUFeOvmjR

Optimistic. Chargers seemingly did their homework on multiple candidates so oddly enough I trust them. One of Staley's calling cards is isolating his the best pass rushers one on one so that should help Bosa a ton. Widely thought of as bright innovative guy 🤷🏾♂️. We'll see though
