Bolts from the Blue<\/a>, which covers the Chargers, answered our questions about Day.<\/p>\nEd: He interviewed for Chargers\u2019 OC. Had Mike McDaniel not become available, would making Day offensive coordinator have been a good decision?<\/p>\n
Michael: I think if the Chargers believed promoting someone who has been by Herbert\u2019s side for all but one season since he was drafted was the right move, then I would have supported the idea. If there\u2019s anyone who knows what is best for Herbert and his game, it\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n
Ed: How much of a loss to the Chargers\u2019 coaching staff would it be if Day were to get the Giants\u2019 job?<\/p>\n
Michael: I think it would be a huge loss due to Day and Herbert\u2019s strong relationship they\u2019ve molded over the years. They have similar personalities and Herbert has been one of the quarterbacks hit the hardest since he was drafted in regards to offensive coaches coming and going around him. I think he deserves to have more continuity and Day gives him that in spades.<\/p>\n
Ed: Justin Herbert appears to be a big fan of Day. What about Day\u2019s work with the star QB has made it that way?<\/p>\n
Michael: From the very beginning, Day has been enamored with Herbert and his skillset. Several years ago, Day took part in an interview where he couldn\u2019t help but gush about his quarterback from start to finish. He went on to discuss how he has folders of Herbert\u2019s greatest throws that he put together solely for him to watch when he\u2019s having a hard day.<\/p>\n
If that\u2019s not a special form of love between the two, I don\u2019t know what is. They make each other\u2019s jobs easier and more enjoyable. You can\u2019t ask for much more than that when you work in the NFL.<\/p>\n
Ed: Day hasn\u2019t drawn a lot of interest from other teams for OC jobs. Why?<\/p>\n
Michael: To be honest, I\u2019m not entirely sure. He has a lot of experience coaching some great quarterbacks over the years with some of the best franchises of the past decade, but you just haven\u2019t seen a ton of attention for Day when the offseason arrives. Maybe he doesn\u2019t want to climb up the coaching ladder as much as other coaches? Maybe he loves his job that much. It\u2019s not out of the realm of possibility, especially when he gets to work with such a great player every day.<\/p>\n
Ed: Day played football at Rhodes College, wherever that is and whatever level of play it was. He started his career as a high school coach. What is unique about this guy that has enabled him to forge this career he has had?<\/p>\n
Michael: I think Day\u2019s bright and engaging personality is a sign of a man who absolutely loves his job and everything that comes with it. You won\u2019t catch anyone with a negative thing to say about him. Guys like that are easy to like and even easier to trust. It\u2019s not a surprise he went from high school position coach to the University of Michigan, then to the San Francisco 49ers in the span of six years. The work ethic he exudes has produced results and I believe everyone can see that wherever he happens to be coaching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shane Day, quarterbacks coach for the Los Angeles Chargers and a valued Justin Herbert mentor, is scheduled to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":719270,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2067],"tags":[7,519,1917,56,81078,1207,2321,2469,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-719269","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-giants","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-giants","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-giants","12":"tag-new-york-giants-coaching-staff","13":"tag-new-york-giants-news","14":"tag-newyork","15":"tag-newyorkgiants","16":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115990281893009019","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/719269","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=719269"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/719269\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/719270"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=719269"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=719269"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=719269"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
