Besides Staley and Telesco, defensive run game coordinator/defensive line coach Jay Rodgers. Outside linebackers coach Giff Smith will coach the team on an interim basis, while director of player personnel JoJo Wooden will act as interim GM.

Staley and Telesco leave the Chargers at the bottom of the AFC West and no real shot at the playoff spot with a 5-9 record.

“These decisions are never easy, nor are they something I take lightly — especially when you consider the number of people they impact,” said Chargers owner Dean Spanos in a statement. “We are clearly not where we expect to be, however, and we need a new vision. Doing nothing in the name of continuity was not a risk I was willing to take.”

The Chargers hired Brandon Staley as the team’s head coach in 2021 after his impressive one-year stint as defensive coordinator with the Los Angeles Rams. Staley led the Chargers to a 10-7 record and AFC Wild Card Game in 2022, but the team suffered a 30–31 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars after blowing a 27-0 lead.

Telesco, on the other hand, has been the general manager of the Chargers for the past 11 years. He was known for making some great draft decisions, including drafting superstar Justin Herbert in 2020, but many believed his roster construction left much to be desired.

According to reports, the Chargers have already agreed to terms that will make the now-former Rams defensive coordinator their new head coach. The Chargers met with Staley for the second time on Sunday and a deal is expected to be signed soon now that the Rams are no longer playing.

Staley’s rise in the ranks has been very quick, with this year being his first as a defensive coordinator. Staley got his start in the NFL as an outside linebackers coach for the Chicago Bears in 2017. He then took the same position with the Denver Broncos before accepting the defensive coordinator job with the Rams in 2020.

The Chargers look to be a good fit for Staley, who will have top-tier talent at his disposal, namely edge rusher Joey Bosa and star safety Derwin Hames leading the defense. Staley also has quarterback Justin Herbert, who is expected to be named Rookie of the Year after a record-breaking 2020 season.

Staley is also expected to retain offensive coordinator Shane Steichen, who will be expected to continue shaping Herbert into a long-term franchise quarterback.
