Not sure what the gently caress happened to him with the Chargers.

The Chargers' personnel isn't suited for running the type of scheme he wants to run, especially in the defensive backfield. They're a group best suited for playing press man and closer to the LOS; they're just not suited for playing pillow soft quarters/deep zone coverage, which is what Staley wants them to do. They're a defense that is so hell bent on not giving up big plays, that opposing offenses just carve them apart on the underneath patterns. And then they give up big plays anyway, eg the opener against Miami. I'll give him some credit for the run D playing a lot better this season than in years past.

Another low key part of why the coverage scheme sucks is that the pass rush isn't good enough to get home consistently. Mack is still a player who has flashes of brilliance (like the Raiders game earlier this season), but he's older and not a guy who can carry a whole pass rush by himself anymore. Bosa is playing on a bad toe and looks slow as gently caress out there in general. So, it's a combination of the scheme and the guys they have executing it who can't get done what they're being asked to do.

Wade Phillips went back to being a DC for many years. I guess he's a HC in the XFL now.

Rivera seems to alternate between having a very good year for his defense and outright sucking the next year, before repeating.

there are usually 2 Chargers who always dominate the Chiefs despite their team losing, its Mike Williams and Joey Bosa. Both being hurt/out was a large part of the result.

The Giants roster was one of the very worst in the league before they had to start their 3rd string QB. Sometimes as a coach all of your options are bad because your team is full of bad players.

Gano deserves more blame than Daboll, that was a game where a single field goal could have won it, any points should have won it, and he shanked them both despite being the only reliable source of offense the Giants have

Daboll isn't going anywhere till next year at minimum after this year they are probably gonna draft a QB, sit him behind Jones for a season, and then see what happens

Not a lot of teams keep a third string QB that’s worth a poo poo but that also sounds like a GM problem not a coaching one.

oh yeah Schoen shouldn't feel safe either.

I dunno, I may have understood the decision if Matt Brieda's your RB, but I'd like to think Barkley has SOME shot at getting one yard, even if the Jets defense is pretty good without Al Woods.

I agree that Daboll is probably safe this year, barring some catastrophic meltdown that would require both on and off the field insanity.

For non-Giants fans, it's worth pointing out the last three coaches were all fired after 2 seasons or less (Judge and Shurmur got two seasons, McAdoo was fired during his second season), and I don't think ownership wants to extend that particular streak.

Also, everyone knew last year was a lot of smoke and mirrors early on, and they struggled down the stretch. It also doesn't help that this season has been hosed up since about 7 minutes into the first game, when Andrew Thomas got hurt, and it's snowballed from there in various ways, particularly on offense.

The circumstances of those 3 firings were different than what we currently have now, too. McAdoo got the job because Coughlin got scapegoated for the team's decline over the 2010's, then when the team fell apart in McAdoo's second year Mara overcorrected again after the benching debacle and fired McAdoo and Reese to do a clean house

They hired Gettleman, who hired Shurmur, but they (probably on Mara's orders) tried to make a final run with Eli happen instead of starting with a fresh young QB. That wasn't gonna work with the roster a mess so Gettleman drafted Jones, the team sucked, and Shurmur got the blame for it, probably unnecessarily but it's not like he was good.

Judge was horrible hire that felt like the Giants got swindled by a guy who talked the talk after Matt Rhule got stolen by the Panthers, and he was meh his first year, and might have survived his second season if he didn't have a complete press meltdown late in the year and after firing Gettleman the Giants finally decided to have a true, genuine fresh start

Daboll and Schoen are the first genuine attempt at a clean slate. Last year was supposed to be a *gotta grit out some contracts* year but they made the playoffs. They would need a catastrophic meltdown to get let go this year, and injuries are a good excuse so far. The team was in such a hole after the Gettleman failure and Mara is probably afraid to do it again. They need to fire the offensive line coach and have a good draft this offseason but it'll be hot seat time next year for sure
