Re: Schottenheimer fired from San Diego
Appearantly the Charger brass was upset about all the assistants that got away this year on both sides of the ball. Then Marty and AJ Smith had a small disagreement about whether linebacker Donnie Edwards will be back next year. Front office says no, Marty wanted him back.
The straw that broke the camel's back, however, was when Marty wanted his brother Kurt Shott as an assistant. Spanos stepped in and said enough is enough. This is why it's reported Spanos said they are 'dysfunctional." |

So what if he wanted his brother. Kurt has been a good NFL coach for many years. It's not like he's not qualified. And all Donnie Edwards does is lead the Chargers in tackles year after year. Sounds like AJ Smith needs to take a hike. |

Re: Schottenheimer fired from San Diego
Too bad for Marty. I wonder where he'll resurface? Who would be inclined to want an ultra-conservative coach?

Re: Schottenheimer fired from San Diego
This might set the Chargers back a couple of years. Sucks for Marty. That and all the good head coaching candidates are gone.

Re: Schottenheimer fired from San Diego
If you were going to fire him, why would you wait until all the good coaches already have jobs? I wonder if they have an ace up their sleeve?

Re: Schottenheimer fired from San Diego
This a bad move by the Chargers. Their best chance at getting a coach with experience now is to go after offensive/defensive coordinators of other teams. I don't think any job is more perfect than the SD job. They have youth, talent and great weather. I hope they don't go after Saunders or Williams.

Re: Schottenheimer fired from San Diego
It's a horrible move. It sends a terrible message to the players and administration. #1 seed in AFC and fired. Silly not to give MartyBALL another year. He's got the best team in football right now. I think the Chargers are idiots, but the only way to save the day is hire Chucky. He'll slide in there and win on someone else's hard work....

Re: Schottenheimer fired from San Diego
Marty will do one year in TV - bringing his bubbling personality to ESPN, nost likely, and then I believe he'll go to...
The Cleveland Browns. Different ownership since his last trip there. Only one playoff appearance since his departure. I'm sure Cleveland would prefer to lose in the playoffs every year than not sniff it.

Re: Schottenheimer fired from San Diego
Bill Parcells and the Chargers anyone?
Boy, did Jim Mora jump the gun this year. He could have been eligible for no less than three jobs had he waited. |
