Saw this coming a mile a way. I don't know who they're going to get to replace him but San Diego can't let that talent waste away to a coach that can not get it done in the postseason. The great thing for a coach coming into that situation is that the roster and talent level is already ready made to win and to compete for the postseason. Now let's see who they hire. And that's going to be as big news, bigger actually than that they fired Marty.
Fire AJ Smith and the Tuna gets total control of the organization.Also wouldn't it be just like Parcells to glom onto a supremely talented team like the Chargers.
Where's Colts Bolts?
This is very interesting. Tuna anyone?
Sean Salisbury called into ESPN News and repeated himself about 5 times, mostly as others have mentioned, about Marty not having enough freedom re assistants. Salisbury did mention Carroll, but then said he was just throwing his name out and it could be anybody now. Salisbury said he thought Marty would land on his feet again as a HC. I doubt it but WTFDIK?I would think they'd try to talk Petey Carrol into it.
Since you saw it a mile away.... then who are you thinking they will hire?
Don't think so. Who said this?
"They want you to cook the dinner, at least they ought to let you shop for some of the groceries."
Clearly the GM in SD is a control freak. Parcells just left a situation where he wasn't the dictator, so I doubt he'd want to go through the same thing at an even more dysfunctional organization.
I would think they'd try to talk Petey Carrol into it.
Chargers | Team releases statement over Schottenheimer's dismissal
Mon, 12 Feb 2007 18:28:22 -0800
San Diego Chargers president Dean Spanos has released a statement regarding head coach Marty Schottenheimer's dismissal. Spanos said, " Today I made an extremely difficult decision: Marty Schottenheimer is no longer the head coach of the San Diego Chargers." Spanos said the team is responsible for paying the final year of Schottenheimer's contract. He added, "Our fans deserve to know what changed for me over the last month. When I decided to move ahead with Marty Schottenheimer in mid-January, I did so with the expectation that the core of his fine coaching staff would remain intact. Unfortunately, that did not prove to be the case, and the process of dealing with these coaching changes convinced me that we simply could not move forward with such dysfunction between our head coach and general manager. In short, this entire process over the last month convinced me beyond any doubt that I had to act to change this untenable situation and create an environment where everyone at Charger Park would be pulling in the same direction and working at a championship level. I expect exactly that from our entire Charger organization in 2007."
Control freaks - AJ Smith and Jerry Joneseven more bizarre than jason garrett and wade phillips
Yeah, they are. If they were going to fire him, they should have done it right away, so they could keep Cameron or Phillips as HC and have some continuity.There's got to be other stuff going on behind the scenes, the Chargers aren't this inept.
