They're a year behind on this. It's a shame really. They could have maybe hired Sean Payton, Demeco Ryans or Shane Steichen. The latter of which worked with Herbert already in 2020 and Hurts in Philadelphia and he looks like he's doing a good job in our division given the circumstances with Richardson and Minshew. 

That defense in particular has too much talent at each level to be as bad as they've been over the past few years. Feels like a prime location for Belichick to swoop on in for with an already established QB and all he would have to do is fix their defense, make better decisions mid game and try not to [BLEEP] up the draft too much.

Someone with a proven track record as an NFL HC, with Bill Belichick at or near the top of the list, would seem like a better fit than an Assistant Coach without NFL HC experience.  

If I were in the position of Lions Offensive Coordinator Ben Johnson or any young potential NFL HC candidate who's an Assistant HC without proven winning HC experience, I would turn down any HC offer from the LA Chargers.  This is even in factoring in the LA Chargers have a highly talented QB with Justin Herbert. Between the Chargers ownership being problematic, a bad salary cap situation, and the Chargers not having a home field advantage, this isn't a favorable situation for a HC.
