Chargers can still reach playoffs. If they don't, will their GM keep his job? History says he will. Team can blame injuries, point to 2023.
An NFL writer with The Athletic speculated last week that Tom Telesco, longtime Chargers general manager, could be in trouble if the team misses the playoffs.
Team owner Dean Spanos, who’d fired Smith, had aligned his son with a Bill Polian protege to run the football side of the family-owned club. Final say on player personnel has belonged to Telesco, a Chargers source said a few years ago. But in a sign that his star indeed had risen, John Spanos said in January 2017 he would have a big say on the next coach hire . Presumably, Spanos maintained that big say four years later when Brandon Staley was hired to replace Lynn.
Rivers turns 40 this week and never reached a Super Bowl but may be the best free agent if he still wants to play and has maintained fitness. Weeks later, after conferring with the Colts, who had their eyes on Carson Wentz — who would last just one season — Rivers announced his retirement and began his next career as a high school football coach in Alabama.Rookie Brock Purdy replaced Garoppolo and appeared comfortable against the blitz-happy Dolphins.
