Brandon Staley, five months after being fired as the Los Angeles Chargers coach, is excited to join a 49ers organization in whatever capacity Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch need.
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley greets his players during an NFL football game against the Denver Broncos, Monday, Oct. 17, 2022, in Inglewood, Calif. a.) Kyle Shanahan wants all-around insight from a former NFL head coach, which Staley was with the Los Angeles Chargers from 2021 through Week 15 last December.
“I don’t think looking at it as a reset is a bad thing,” Staley said of his career path. “Playing quarterback, when you reset, it gives you pause to move onto the next thing.” Staley gave no hints of an impending power struggle, even though he, too, interviewed for the defensive coordinator role in February.
“Talking to Kyle and John, there is a lot of common ground in how to lead a football team,” Staley said. “That is what I was looking for more than anything, an opportunity where you feel you’ll be aligned with the right people who do things the right way and you have a chance to improve, and where you also have a chance to affect a team that can compete for a championship.
“Oh man, I felt like I coached for the Niners long before I got here. Working with Vic and then Ed Donnatell, they both mean a lot to me,” Staley said.
