Poor Bruce, imagine every interview he had this week cancelled. Chargers: "hey Bruce, yeah I know we have plans to hang out on Monday but uhhh something came up. I uhhh have to uhhhh take my Grandma to her hair appointment?!?! but I totally wanna kick it with you soon, how about Wednesday" Bears : "Brucey boy whats up! oh wait we had plans today? Oh crap I thought that was tomorrow!!! Im so sorry bro, oh well no hard feelings right? RIGHT! ha I kid, Later buddy" Eagles: "Hey man, how would you feel if we didn't interview today? alright cool man thanks, you see I got this chick coming over and you know............... alright my man, I owe you one. Talk to you later" Jaguars: "Hey is this Bruce?!?!?! Hey Bruce David Caldwell, from the Jacksonville Jaguars...........................Hello?......Hello?!?!?!?!............Hel.........I think he hung up?"
I am hoping he does hire one who will actually do the job as OC unlike the OC's we had under Norv who didn't do any play calling
Going to be holding my breath until I hear who McCoy has named his Offensive Coordinator. There are some great assistants out there, both pro and collegiate level, and hopefully that question was a great part of the interview process... This fan base has had entirely enough of the combined HC/OC crap to do us. <spit>
Eagles have hired Gus Bradley as their HC Interesting that Bradley & McCoy were finalists for both Chargers & Eagles job, wonder if that means we got the pick of the litter?
Wow talk about a youth movement in SD. Out with the OLD and in with the NEW. (now as long as McCoy has a proper OC then I am v happy with the moves made so far.... oh and if he brings Clady with him wow #Iknowitisalongshot)
Awesome hire. No retread. No super expensive former SB coach. No hires from within. We got 2 young guys to work together and build a culture for this team for the next decade+. Couldnt be happier with this signing. Now hire Pagano to be your DC and then start hirng your OC and the rest of the coaches you want to bring in. Now here is to hoping he's the real McCoy (Tongue in cheek)!
I just hope he isn't the guy who decided to send Peyton Manning to the locker room with 30 seconds and 2 time outs left in a tied-up playoff game...
From Acee; Been told Chargers likely wouldn't have interviewed McCoy had Broncos not lost. They wanted a coach by this week. Doesn't make sense to me...... we'd have selected maybe Bradley had the Broncos won?, even though it's clear McCoy is our number 1 choice? Crazy tweet no?
He's saying They were dead set on hiring someone this week, they wouldn't have had a chance to interview McCoy. Meaning they would of had to pick from Lovie, Whiz, Arians, Bradley or Gruden.
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Seahawks DC Gus Bradley not scheduled to arrive in Philly till this afternoon. Bradley is scheduled to interview with Jaguars Wednesday. I bet Philly is going to go all in on Bradley today
And here is my post from early November telling everyone to add him to the list of solid HC candidates and a bunch of people told me he hadnt done anything. http://bolttalk.com/threads/the-next-head-coach-of-the-san-diego-chargers.27407/
Can we merge this thread with the other bigger one about HC search... I know they are not exactly the same but we are now discussing the same thing?
I guess u can look at it 2 ways. Wait a week to get the best guy (in their eyes) or take the next best this week instead just in case McCoy is never a runner down the line.
I'm fine with making that happen (keeping things consolidated and tidy is always nice) but will leave it up to Ant since this is his thread and all.

Jeremy Fowler@JFowlerCBS Might be the league's best hire of coaching season. RT @JasonLaCanfora: Mike McCoy has agreed to terms with the Chargers. Done deal.
