Over the weekend, the Chargers blew the third-largest lead in postseason history.
announced Tuesday they fired offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi and passing game coordinator/quarterbacks coach Shane Day.Somehow, the Chargers lost 30-31 to the Jacksonville Jaguars Saturday, despite a 27-0 lead in the second quarter, blowing the third-largest lead in postseason history.
Since entering the league as the sixth overall pick in the 2020 draft, Herbert is second in completions, third in passing yards, and fifth in combined touchdowns.While Herbert has shown he can be one of the league’s top quarterbacks, owner Dean Spanos will determine if the Chargers have the right coach and general manager to get Herbert and the rest of the roster to the next level. Yet, the Chargers are 25-25, including the playoffs, with him as their starting quarterback.
The Chargers have yet to win a division title during Tom Telesco’s 10 seasons as general manager and have only been to the playoffs three times in his tenure. Telesco, who said before the start of the season that the true measuring stick of a GM is wins and losses, has an 81-86 record. The Bolts’ .485 winning percentage since 2013 is 19th.
Yet, for all the attention paid to the defense, it was still one of the team’s weaknesses. The unit was ranked 20th in total defense, 21st in points allowed per game and the fifth worst against the run.
