Do you honestly believe this statement or was it pure hyperbole? Because Marty is one of the "winningest" coaches in HISTORY of the NFL. Moreover, unlike a lot of coaches who seem to only perform when they have a HoF QB at the helm or al All-Star cast, Marty has won in a lot of places with a lot of different personnel and coaches. Marty's consistency in winning despite changes in scenery, personnel, assistants, GMs, fans, etc. tells me that he's well above "average." To have gone 8-8 with the personnel he had here in D.C. should, by itself, speak volumes.
Moreover, that the Chargers waited until now to make this move says a lot about the wisdom of the Charger front office. Most of the quality/choice assistants are gone, the top head coaching candidates are gone, and teams are gearing up for the draft and free agency. To dump your head coach now is about as dumb as it gets.
