On January 16, 2020, Staley was hired by the Los Angeles Rams as their defensive coordinator, replacing Wade Phillips. In his only year as coordinator in 2020, Staley helped guide the Rams defense to 1st in points and total yards allowed, positioning himself as an attractive head coaching candidate around the league. On January 17, 2021, Staley was hired as head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers to replace Anthony Lynn. On September 12, 2021, Staley made his regular-season head coaching debut against the Washington Football Team and led the Chargers to a 20–16 victory.
He led the Chargers to a 9–7 record through the first 16 games of the season. However, against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 18 in a win or tie or go-home situation, Staley came under scrutiny for two decisions during the game. The first involved a failed fourth down conversion on the Chargers’ own 18-yard line, giving the Raiders a short field, which they would score on to extend their lead to 12. The second was calling a timeout with 38 seconds left in the overtime period with the Raiders at the Chargers ’39-yard line.
Brandon Staley claimed he called the timeout to get the right defensive personnel on the field as the Raiders were running the ball. Following the game there was conjecture that the timeout proved to be costly for the Chargers as the Raiders kicked a 47-yard field goal as time expired, winning 35–32, and eliminating the Chargers from playoff contention. However, when discussing the moment on a podcast, Raiders’ interim head coach Rich Bisaccia stated that “the timeout was really irrelevant”, Bisaccia is now a special teams coach for the Packers.
