The Chargers in 1 month have gone from a perrenial powerhouse to an expansion team in terms of coaching...I have not seen a complete wipeout of coaches like this in a very long time except with expansion teams,Almost as if SD was a first year team.

Can SD with the best overall talent in the league right now be able to withstand all new coaching?

What they accomplish next year will be a true tale of the question of 'Do coaches make the players better?,or Do the players make the coaches look better.

Some people question this, relates to sort of like in horse racing a question I always pondered 'Does a good jockey make a bad horse look and perform better? or Does a good horse make a bad jockey look better?

I think the biggest gap that can occur on a team is the gap between coach and GM. No matter what coaching staff comes into this job they will always have to face off with A.J. Smith. Now granted he has done a very good job so far in talent evaluation, but too often teams fall apart because of disagreements at the top no matter the quality of players involved.

If you are one of the players flinching at the harshness of these words, you might as well begin packing. There is no way you are going to last as a New England Patriot."

I don't think it's necessarily so dire. Losing the HC and both coordinators happens all the time -- a new coach typically brings in his own junior staff.

The main problem IMO is not what the Chargers have lost, but what their choices are to restock with. It's not so much the head coaching vacancy -- you still have promising young guns like Singletary and Rivera out there, as well as plenty of plug-and-play retreads like Jim Fassel. The big challenge is filling out a talented staff at this late date. Most position coaches are already committed, and teams aren't likely to look kindly on requests to start interviewing them in March.

I think BB already proved that coaches make players better.

I don't know but for some reason when and if Cowher comes back this year or next,I see him coaching an NFC team,just a hunch here.

I don't think guys like Tony Dungy are better coaches than the plaers...BB is a rare exception IMO

Look at Phil Jackson in the NBA,He was a part of a legendary team with Michael Jordan and Co.Then goes to the Lakers with guys like Kobe and Shaq,In that case,at least in another sports league the players made the coach better-can go both ways I guess.

Fixit

Not with all of those undisciplined players.

I don't believe Cowher will coach again. I think we wants a suit job with some team and have more time with the family and less traveling.
