Five years ago, Brandon Staley was a Division III assistant coach. Today, he's the coach of the Chargers. “My first impression was: this guy is nuts,' said a former John Carroll University defensive back.
When Brandon Staley faced the biggest question of the biggest job interview of his life last year, he blurted out an odd answer.
Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay and Staley, who was applying to become the team’s defensive coordinator, were breaking down how he would maximize the talents of star defensive tackle Aaron Donald. Staley offered a blueprint based on another football player named Frank Pines. Both players were undersized. Both were versatile. Both could single-handedly wreck any offensive play.
There was just one small difference. Donald is the best NFL defensive player of his generation. Pines is a territory manager for a food distributor in North Carolina who once played under Staley at John Carroll University.It’s a moment that reflects Staley’s meteoric rise. In 2016, he was an assistant coach at Division III John Carroll. Last year, he got the Rams job. In 2021, he’s already the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers.
