Interestingly, Joe Lombardi was not the sole one who got booted by the franchise.
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.

Folks are rightfully going down for under-utilizing one of the best QBs in the league.
Whoever lands these jobs needs to let Herbert off the leash

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.
