    WEEK 9 — PODIUM AVAILABILITY Wednesday, October 30, 2019 | Hoag Performance Center | Costa Mesa, Calif. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS HEAD COACH ANTHONY LYNN Opening statement: “As you guys already know, we made a change at offensive coordinator. That was not an easy decision. Like I said in my statement, it’s never about one person winning or losing but it’s a team. I felt like there was a change that definitely needed to be made. [Offensive Coordinator] Shane Steichen will be our play-caller now. I have a lot of confidence in Shane and I’m going to let him call it. I do not want him looking over his shoulder for any reason. I will assist like I’ve always assisted, but I have a lot of confidence in Shane and our offensive staff to get this done. Now, moving on to Green Bay, hopefully.” On making the move now: “I just felt like it was time. I mean, if I was eventually going to do it, why not just do it right now? We have eight weeks left in this season and we still have everything in front of us that we want. I feel like this move would be smoother for us.” On the time frame of the decision: “I don’t want to get into all of that, but I think it’s a move that I feel like needed to be made right now.” On Offensive Coordinator Shane Steichen: “Shane — he’s young, he’s innovative, he has a lot of juice. I think the players are going to respond to Shane.
