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."

They should be upset because Marty doesn't even wear a headset. As far as gameday strategy he is as uninvloved as any NFL coach I have ever seen. With that being said he is still a solid coach and what I like about Marty is he teaches.

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?

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?

PFT laid out what the clearly alluded to as speculation but it makes total sense.

I'd bet Carroll is the coach by Friday.

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.

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.

He's still eligible for any HC job that wants him.
