COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) Joe Lombardi is hoping that his second stint as an offensive coordinator goes better than the first.

Lombardi, who accepted the Los Angeles Chargers coordinator opening over the weekend, said on Tuesday the biggest thing he learned from his first opportunity in Detroit was that he needs to be more flexible when assessing his personnel and their abilities. Lombardi went to the Lions in 2015, but was fired seven games into the following season.

"Spending so much time in New Orleans and doing things one way, you kind of get used to that," he said. "When you're put into a new situation where the schedule is different, and maybe you're around coaches that weren't used to doing things the way that you were used to, just having to flexibility to adjust a little bit better, maybe, than we did back then."
