The Chargers have their official scapegoats for their playoff collapse.
Offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi and passing-game coordinator/quarterbacks coach Shane Day have been fired by the Chargers, the team announced Tuesday morning, three days after Los Angelesin the AFC wild-card round, losing 31-30 on a Jacksonville field goal as time expired. The comeback was the third-largest in NFL playoff history.
Lombardi, the 51-year-old grandson of Vince Lombardi, lasted two seasons with the Chargers, who managed just a field goal in the second half in Jacksonville as the Jaguars clawed back for the improbable win, setting up a Saturday matchup with the top-seeded Chiefs. Lombardi had two stints as a quarterbacks coach with the Saints, with a two-year run as the Lions’ offensive coordinator in 2014-15 sandwiched between.The Chargers also fired passing-game coordinator and quarterbacks coach Shane Day.
Los Angeles will likely have coaches lining up for their offensive coordinator vacancy thanks to quarterback Justin Herbert, who just completed his third season at age 24 and threw for 4,739 yards, 25 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The job will not come without pressure, however, as Brandon Staley will be expected to make progress in his third year as the team’s head coach after the debacle against the Jaguars.
