No more marty ball...for now

[jay]

first let me clarify, i am not a marty fan nor a marty hater, i do believe that he has had some bad luck in the playoffs, or he was outcoached, and i am talking throughout his career. but seriuosly, what was the chargers brass thinking when they let the 2 coordinators get head coaching jobs and then fire marty!!!! i think they may have cost themselves to be a contender next year, the new coach is playing catch up!!! free agency is 2 weels away, on march 3rd

this gm of the bolts better be all he thinks he is, cause it is his show at this point!!!!

how about denny in sd, the rumors are already out!!!

From what I have read about it, Marty seems to be pretty mad about this, and I can't say as I blame him. I would sure not mind having him around, I know that for sure.

Denny in San Diego? I would laugh until I cried.

Hehehehee....no Denny, but plenty of Norv, which would be equally funny.

SAN DIEGO (Feb. 13, 2007) -- The Chargers received permission to interview four candidates to replace fired head coach Marty Schottenheimer, including one-time San Diego offensive coordinator Norv Turner.

Turner was offensive coordinator with the Chargers in 2001. He's currently the offensive coordinator of the San Francisco 49ers. He interviewed for the Dallas Cowboys' head coaching job that went to Wade Phillips, the Chargers' former defensive coordinator.

The Chargers also received permission to interview Hall of Famer 49ers assistant head coach Mike Singletary and Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, both of whom interviewed for the Cowboys job. The fourth candidate is Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan.

The Chargers did not say when the candidates would be interviewed.

Schottenheimer was fired Feb. 12 by team president Dean Spanos, who cited a "dysfunctional situation" between Schottenheimer and general manager A.J. Smith.

The Chargers were an NFL-best 14-2 before losing their playoff opener to New England.
