How 'bout that original coaching staff though:

All those guys became NFL legends in one way or another. The guys we grew up on. Badass. Let's hope some day a photo of the new Rams staff evokes such a response.

That is an impressive grouping by any standards, but made even more so by taking the following facts into consideration:

60% of this coaching staff are members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Davis and Noll account for seven victories in the first 18 Super Bowl games.
Each of these men spent at least 35 years in professional football.
Either Gillman’s Chargers or Davis’s Raiders participated in 8 out of 10 AFL championship games.'

SID GILLMAN – Hall of Fame Class of 1983 – Known as the Father of Modern Offensive Football, Gillman’s contributions to the game include hiring the first strength coach in pro football, developing the use of film study as a coaching tool, and stretching the field offensively with his Field Balance Theory.

AL DAVIS – Hall of Fame Class of 1992 – Took over as head coach of the Raiders in 1963, and named AFL Commissioner in 1966. As Managing General Partner of the Raiders, his teams won five AFL/AFC championships and three Super Bowls.

CHUCK NOLL – Hall of Fame Class of 1993 – Became head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1969, and won four AFC championships and Super Bowl titles during his years. Was known as a shrewd judge of talent, and selected an unprecedented four future hall of fame members in the Steelers 1974 draft – Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, Jack Lambert and Mike Webster.

JACK FAULKNER – After leaving the Chargers, Faulkner spent the next 17 seasons in some AFL or NFL coaching capacity. After his coaching days ended, he moved into the Los Angeles Rams front office where he applied his renown talents to the selection of new players. He worked with the Rams up to his death in 2008, spending some 48 years in professional football.

JOE MADRO – Joe Madro coached Sid Gillman’s offensive lines at the college and professional levels for some 30 years, and spent 17 after that int he scouting department of the Oakland Raiders. He retired having spent more than 50 years in football.

The Chargers seem so desperate with this #FightForLA b.s.

They're "fighting for LA" by pretending to dive for a catch.
