3. A clean break for an incoming head coach

By moving to Los Angeles, it has done wonders to the Chargers head coaching search. So much loomed on the possibility of relocation that it made the Chargers job more unattractive than it should have been. There is a good chance that the Chargers will end up winning the head coaching carousel in all honesty.

Jacksonville promoted interim head coach Doug Marrone. Denver hired former Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Vance Joseph. Buffalo hired former Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott. None of those feel like home-run hires.

That leaves three head coaching vacancies: the Rams after a grease fire of a 2016 season, the ultra-dysfunctional San Francisco 49ers that also need a general manager, and the Chargers. San Francisco is a complete rebuild and the Rams’ first season in Los Angeles could not have gone any worse than it did.

Not having to move his family twice to San Diego then Los Angeles in two years makes this the best job left in the NFL. Ownership is a bit strange, but the Chargers have a good roster and solid coaches in place should the next head coach feel like keeping them around. Regardless, the Chargers are going to get somebody great they may not have by staying in San Diego.
