A little good news for our San Diego buddy Boltergeist...

Add Mike Zimmer to the list of people whom the Chargers are looking at for head coach (previous reports also named Mike Holmgren and Jim Mora Jr as possible options).

On the GM front, word that they've given a second interview to Tom Telesco. Reports are that Jimmy Raye is still considered the favorite, but Telesco definitely has a real shot.

San Diego media seems to think it's Telesco now. He's still in town. I have a feeling Wolf might've won out on this one.

As for Zimmer, I'd have to hold judgement until I see his offensive staff.

Missed that. Thanks.

Schefter noted the timing (that they were expected to name their guy today) and that Telesco was in town. I think you might be right.

Wouldn't surprise me to see Zimmer call on Bob Bratkowski since they used to work together. I suppose he might also look back to some of his old colleagues from his Cowboy days.

SD should be announced soon, Telesco is the new GM.

K GUNN back in Buffalo....yay.. lol

That'd rob the Jets of another option :lol:

Latest word is they've also reached out to Brian Gaine (Dolphins Assistant GM). Sounds like they're no longer interested in Ross (conceivable he doesn't want them).

[Mr. Scot]

Today's "New of the Weird" courtesy of Ian Rapoport (a story that surprisingly doesn't involve the Jets).

Regarding Todd Haley, a source with the Steelers said he's interviewing for the Cardinals head coaching job today.

Haley's agent, however, has said that he's not doing any interviews and is happy where he is.

Asked about the story, the Arizona Cardinals had no comment.

The hell... :blink:

Gamble was close to being hired, not sure what happened there except he was wanting to fire Rex.

Was reading that, report also came out from somewhere in steeler land that he turned the interview down. Lmao wth is going on with some of these searches.

[Mr. Scot]

Word was his interview "didn't go well". That could conceivably be translated to mean he was something less than enthusiastic about keeping Rex Ryan. They were kast said to be checking on Brian Gaine of the Dolphins and their own Assistant GM Scott Cohen.

Honestly, if I were a GM candidate, I'd steer well clear of The Woody and Rex Show. Those guys give dumpster fires a bad name.

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet

The #Chargers have informed one coaching candidate their new GM Tom Telesco, source says.

So they have someone hired?

T'would seem.

Hey Bolt, If Raye is pissed about being passed over in San Diego, tell him we could probably find a place for him :lol:

Just to confirm above

Albert Breer ‏@AlbertBreer

Telesco interviewed last week, interviewed again last night, stayed overnight in San Diego, offered and accepted the job today.

Press Conference is at 1 PM Pacific Time.

[carpanfan96]

Also hearing that Telesco doesn't have final say on HC position.

Albert Breer ‏@AlbertBreer

Be careful about dot-connecting on SD's coach search. Telesco will join Dean Spanos, John Spanos, Ed McGuire, Ron Wolf to look for new HC.
