Norvel...Why Has Thou Stunk-Up Joint?

SD knocked me out of my suicide pool today also.. I should have KNOWN better than to trust Norv.. Worst head coach in NFL history.

Let's be honest. Norv is a seriously great guy. Anyone who has ever met him will atest to that. Most people acknowledge he is a pretty good O coordinator. But why anyone thought he could head coach any team after what he did here and in Oakland is a moron. Just a total dip sh*t moron. AJ Smith is done. There is no way they can not fire him. I'd fire him and Norv now and bring backMarty tommorrow for whatver it costs to get him. What a joke. I cry every time I think how close the Cowboys were to hiring Norv.

Did you see that (annoying) Keith Oberman "worst man in the NFL" thing at the half of the gints-iggles? It was the owner and GM of the chargers in a tie.

Marty for the ole ball coach is the meddling of a young billionaire who does want his team to succeed, and thinks he can do it the same way he plays fantasy football. Marty for Norvil is just plain stupid. After 14-2? And they let all the good assistants go before canning marty, to make it worse. And the Padres are looking to choke. Tough times in SD.

This is the second time an owner has fired Marty foolishly!

thats good

Sometimes in the NFL (and in all sports) teams just don't play to the same level as they did the previous year. For what ever reason. They loose their edge. Humans are not machines. 14-2 is really really tough to do in the NFL. You have to be really good but you also have to have the ball bounce your way. It looks like the running game is sputtering and the passing came can't pick up the slack although today LT went off. They have a young QB who is turning it over and some WR's that are very questionable. Plus they made a bad mistake and let go of Donnie Edwards. Then you fire Marty and you loose both coordinators. Chargers had nowhere to go but down.

They should fire Turner and hire Spurrier. LOL.
(then put Petitbon and Robiskie on the staff!)

I bet Bill Cowher will be enticed to the Chargers next year. How can someone NOT want to come out of retirement for such a talented team?

I'd say they're more than down and clearly not playing up to potential. That seems to be a theme for Norv's team.

We cannot discount the Chargers defense though. Ted Cottrell was brought in, and I've heard that the San Diego defense is really what's different from last year. I'd bet the Chiefs don't score 30 points in a game for another two seasons.

Still, the team appears to suffer from the general malaise that Norv's teams are famous for. It's a long season though, and something tells me that the Bolts are going to right the ship at some point. There's just too much talent for it not to happen.

I'm going to go out on a limb here, the Chargers probably lost their window of opportunity to play in a Super Bowl for the next several years. And this is the arrogance of AJ, in his mind this is a team that is 14-2, surely they canl bounce back and be just as good next year. Look at how Gruden has struggled since taking over Dungy's team in Tampa. Look how long it took Dungy with the same squad, same QB to finally get the Colts to a Super Bowl. Marty has been too close too many times for you not to let him ride this thing out for another two or three years. You don't get this close, and completely overhaul the front office. No way, no how.

I'll bet in ten -fifteen years from now, this will go down as the one of the worst GM moves ever. Better yet, I'll bet LT will put up with this crap for about another two years before he starts to demanding a trade.
