Chargers' Search for New Coach and GM Unrestricted by Financial Limitations

John Spanos, president of football operations, indicates previous head-coaching experience will be a factor in the search.

John Spanos, president of football operations for the Los Angeles Chargers, has stated that there will be no financial limitations in the search for a new head coach and general manager.
The Chargers recently fired coach Brandon Staley and general manager Tom Telesco following a disappointing season.
Spanos has indicated that previous head-coaching experience will be a factor in the search, a departure from the team's last three hires who were all first-time head coaches.
The Chargers' job openings are considered attractive due to the team's upcoming move to a new facility and the presence of quarterback Justin Herbert, who is under contract through 2029.
Spanos emphasized that his preference is to hire executives and coaches and then allow them to do their jobs, stating he talked to Telesco and Staley 'almost daily' as a means to support them.
