Playoffs May Factor Into Chargers' Hc Hire

... on the postseason picture to develop if either Patricia or Toub is coveted as Mc Coy’s successor. If Spanos’ top choice is one of the other five candidates, there is less reason to wait. The Broncos, Rams, 49 ers and Bills also still have vacancies. On Monday afternoon, the Jaguars finalized interim coach Doug Marrone as their long-term replacement to Gus Bradley. Marrone was not known to be under consideration in San Diego. It is unclear what effect, if any, the Chargers’ Jan. 15 deadline to exercise their option to relocate to Los Angeles will have on their hiring’s timing. Caption San Diego Chargers are history.

Vance Joseph Interviews With Broncos; Chargers Up Next

... 2017 8:01 PM. Jan 10, 2017 7:21 PM. If Joseph was the guy, the Broncos would not have let him leave Denver today. All of which means the next HC of the Broncos will probably be Kyle Shanahan, which was always the right choice to begin with. Now go win a Super Bowl, Kyle, and bring that experience with you to the Mile High City. Totally agree, they wouldn’t have let him leave. Good post. Guys, it was a disappointing year but Denver is not that far away. As always, in No. 7 we trust. Jan 10, 2017 8:01 PM. Please Mr Elway hire VJ asap, make the Dolphins nation happy! 🙂. igotgamenj says. Jan 10, 2017 8:17 PM.

Lions Dc Teryl Austin Interviews For Chargers' Head Coaching Job

... Levy played only six games the last two years combined because of injury. Defensive end Ezekiel Ansah was hobbled by an ankle injury throughout 2016, while cornerback Darius Slay and defensive tackle Haloti Ngata missed multiple games apiece too. Austin installed a bend-but-don't-break defensive philosophy to account for the losses, and it worked for a while. They ceded the short stuff while taking away the long ball, which in turn helped the Lions allow the 13 th fewest points even though they allowed opposing quarterbacks to complete 72.9 percent of their passes. That was a league record. But the Lions' defense faltered down the stretch, allowing 33 points per game in losses against Dallas, Green Bay and Seattle. They allowed at least 150 yards rushing in each of those games, and Dak Prescott, Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson completed 65 of their 89 passes (73.0 percent) for 736 yards, nine touchdowns and no interceptions. That will surely take a toll on Austin's stock, though he still has at least the interview in San Diego, and has also been ...

What Experts Are Saying About Bolts' Head Coach Opportunity

... point. “Quietly, the Chargers have pieced together one of the most underrated defenses in the league. San Diego improved from 28 th in defensive DVOA to eighth this season, on the back of key additions such as Joey Bosa and Casey Hayward. The Chargers created a ton of takeaways, forcing turnovers on 14.5 percent of opposing possessions, the third-highest rate in the league behind the Chiefs and Buccaneers…. Whoever is running their defense will be blessed with a deep, talented roster. Jason Verrett , one of the best cornerbacks in football, should return from a partially torn ACL. Brandon Mebane will likely be back as a run-stopping defensive tackle. Manti Te'o will be part of the rotation at inside linebacker. If the Chargers can re-sign free agent Melvin Ingram , they really won't have any weaknesses on defense outside of safety. This unit should remain good.”. On the other hand, before the search began, CBS sports noted that the offensive side of the ball is a reason why the Bolts are a coveted ...

Raiders Impress Nfl With Vegas Plans; Chargers To Decide On L.a. By Tuesday

... powerful stadium and finance committees to state their case for Las Vegas, the Chargers conspicuously remained at home in California. And reading into the Chargers’ absence, or why the NFL mysteriously tacked on two more days for them to decide on their L. A. option, or why Dean Spanos hasn’t yet requested an extension to that deadline or officially asked the NFL for more help in finding a stadium solution in San Diego is as difficult as keeping Tom Brady and the Patriots out of the end zone. This much we do know: If the Chargers are hoping the NFL ponies up more money for the San Diego stadium cause – and in the process creates more comfort to remain in San Diego at least another two years – they might be in for a disappointment. Because it sure doesn’t seem the NFL is all that eager to provide more financial aid to the Chargers before they have to decide Tuesday whether to pull the trigger on L. A. or remain in San Diego. “We ...

Why Casey Hayward Said A Prayer After Being Named All-pro

... Casey Hayward said his dream was to not only play in the all-star showcase, but also be named to the AP All-Pro Team. That recognition would mean the world to him in a season he dedicated to his mother, who passed away one month before the start of training camp. “I dedicated this whole season to her,” he said after officially making the Pro Bowl.  “I’ve been playing this whole season for her, so to get this accomplishment is for her.  Nobody really knew what I went through, so for this to happen, I give all the glory to God.  My mom rallied me to the games growing up.  To be where I am now, given all her hard work for me and my family, this means the world to me. She was excited when I became a Charger, but she passed in July right before training camp started.”. Hayward’s dream became reality as the cornerback was named as a Second-Team All-Pro selection on Friday. After learning he’d made the team, the cornerback said a prayer. “I literally just prayed and told God, ‘thank you,’” he said seconds after learning of the honor. ...

Chargers Blitz Eagles To Stay Undefeated At Lady Panther Classic

... tournament's championship game. "We were working the ball inside-out and getting wide open shots," Clampitt said. "When we're clicking, that's what gets us going.". It gave the Chargers to a lead they didn't surrender. Clampitt fueled a 10-0 run in the final 4 minutes, 53 seconds of the opening quarter as Illini West led 18-4. She scored six points in the run and finished the first half with 15 points. Senior guard Erin Johnson also made a 3-pointer in the opening quarter. "We just executed the offense," Illini West coach Grant Surprenant said. "When (Liberty) went to a zone, we just worked it inside-out. We had our feet set and ready to shoot.". That got Liberty (10-10) in trouble. "You could see their confidence go up when they got the first couple shots to go down," Liberty coach John Leapley said. ...

European Carmakers Hope To Catch Tesla With Faster E-car Chargers

... up. Europe already has a network of nearly 72,000 public charging stations for electric cars, but most are so slow they take hours for a meaningful charge. The International Energy Agency says only about 5,800 European charging stations are "fast", which it defines as charging at a rate of 43 k W or more, the equivalent of operating 90 washing machines simultaneously. The fastest chargers in widespread use on the continent so far are the more than 1,800 installed so far by Tesla. At 120 k W, they still need half an hour to give a car enough juice to drive 270 km. As the market for electric cars grows, traditional car makers are going to find it easier to catch up with Tesla, said Graham Evans, automotive analyst at IHS Markit. "Tesla doesn't really have anyone to answer to, they are independent," he said. "(But) I think that further out the big (automakers) are in a better position to capitalize because of their more extensive resources.". Installing thousands of fast chargers across the globe will require billions of dollars in investment and offer an opportunity to manufacturers. The car consortium's new fast ...

From a fan perspective, the dismissal of Mike Mc Coy was the right move, and necessary decision. He has failed to motivate his players, and it seemed they lost confidence, and belief in his scheme. But, there is another underlying problem with this team, ownership. For decades, even back to the previous majority owner, this organization searches for bargain basement, or washed-up coaches, as well as players. For Dean Spanos, the answer, and solution are simple. If he wants a top tier coach, he has to open his wallet. The players will respond, as teams usually adapt the attitude of their head coach. C. J. Green. * * *. The sad letters begging Spanos to keep his Chargers in San Diego brought tears ...

Tigers Cut Down High-powered Chargers

... to pump in the points in transition. The Tigers dished out 23 assists, led by Tate Martin’s 11. “Our team feeds off our defense really well,” Spicer said. “It gives us run-outs and it gets guys open. If the other team is on their heels and we are taking it off a miss instead out of the hoop, we can just put so much pressure on them and we have got guys that can hurt them.”. Trae Vandeberg tossed in 14 points for DWU. Nate Davis contributed 12 points and his presence was also felt on the defensive end. Davis held Erich Erdman to just six points on 0-for-9 shooting from the field. Erdman entered the game leading the team in scoring (18.5). “I was just really proud of how he played,” Wilber said about Davis’ defense. “I thought we got a great lift from Nate Davis and a time when we needed it.”. The Tigers will host Concordia University at 4 p.m. on Sunday. The Bulldogs defeated the Tigers 95-79 earlier in the season. “We know we are a ...
