“Getting Rid of the Only Lombardi”: LA Chargers’ Absurd Decision to Fire OC Joe Lombardi Despite Blowing 27-0 Lead Against Jaguars Draws Flak From NFL World

The Los Angeles Chargers’ playoff hopes dropped after their Wild Card loss. The Jacksonville Jaguars outpaced them in one of this season’s most epic comebacks. After the Bolts’ hopes went down, the team began to make amends. However, in a surprising turn of events, the franchise sacked OC Joe Lombardi. The move perplexed NFL fans.

The Chargers defense had an unsuccessful route in the Wild Card round against the Jags. LA blew out a massive lead to Jacksonville, something the Bolts could not let happen. Now that they are off the playoff scene, the AFC West franchise has begun making changes. But offensive changes are not what the fans expected to see.

Joe Lombardi faced the Chargers’ wrath

As per Adam Schefter, the Los Angeles Chargers fired OC Joe Lombardi. The move comes just days after the underdog Jaguars picked a massive victory over them. The franchise also confirmed that they have moved on from Vince Lombardi’s grandson. However, there are no changes in the defensive side’s coaching staff.

The franchise decision, after giving up a massive 27-0 lead, brought snarky remarks from the NFL fans.

LA Chargers also sacked the QBs coach

Apart from Joe Lombardi, the Chargers made more moves in the offensive stance. The franchise also sacked passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach Shane Day.

Some may see it as a surprising move. But the Chargers struggled with the running game. Moreover, despite clinching a Wild Card spot, the offense’s struggle was clear throughout the season. The Chargers have a star like Justin Herbert, who could touch playoff glory and clinch the ultimate prize. It could be the first step toward a revamped offensive lineup.
