bad HC doesn’t mean bad DC. it is concerning how much staley has shat the bed as HC, and seeing how the chargers’ defense is doing considering it’s “his side” of the game. but HC and DC are just totally different jobs. some people say he was carried by AD and ramsey. well we had AD and ramsey the year before too and didn’t perform as well. so yes we did have AD and ramsey, but going from wade to staley I think was a bigger factor. so that said, if you neutered every part of the game out of his job except for being DC, I think he’ll still do fine. he just seems in over his head being HC.
