New Chargers Head Coach Brandon Staley is as involved in defensive personnel as any other. Staley worked as a coach in many different universities, but didn’t find his groove until he worked at James Madison University in 2014. After his CFB career, Staley worked for three NFL teams before 2021, when he was named the Head Coach of the Los Angeles Chargers and is off to a great start that has many viewing him as the best defensive Head Coach in the NFL aside from Bill Belichick.

BRANDON STALEY IS THE BEST DEFENSIVE HC IN FOOTBALL BESIDES BILL BELICHICK
COLORS KEY | FULL CHARGERS OUTLOOK
Head Coaches don’t have to be involved in play-calling. Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin is a great coach, but doesn’t call defensive plays. The Chargers’ Brandon Staley, former disciple of Vic Fangio, calls LA’s plays. The current Denver Broncos Head Coach, Fangio is also defense-first, but hasn’t been successful in Denver yet, a 3-1 start against weak competition to 2021 aside. The Chargers 3-1 record is much more impressive given the stronger schedule and wins.
Brandon Staley hasn’t acted like a rookie Head Coach with gutsy decisions, excellent game plans, and unpredictable defensive schemes to find success, as he did with the Rams. Obviously nobody besides Bill Belichick can be considered the best defensive Head Coach in the NFL right now, but the future is bright in LA. It’s difficult to predict how great Brandon Staley will be when all is said and done, but the Chargers have the best young defensive mind in football.
