Brandon Staley was the most sought after head coaching candidate in the NFL in 2021, and I know this because he was hired by the Los Angeles Chargers. It’s not necessarily that I trust Chargers management more than the other teams who were searching (though that is an argument against some of the hires) but consider it from Staley’s point of view after he had been interviewed by four different teams.
I know that Staley was the most attractive hire because there is no question that the Chargers had the most attractive opportunity. Most coaches are hired, but in this case it feels more like Staley hired the team with the most potential.
