Re: Chargers | Schottenheimer fired

******ed crazy stupid all of those.....they are gonna have to totally rebuild their coaching staff now

[Ickybaluky]

Re: Chargers | Schottenheimer fired

Did he sign his extension? Didn't they just give him an extra year through 2008, with a option buyout of $1M on top of that?

He must have had a blowout with A.J. Smith.

Re: Chargers | Schottenheimer fired

The San Diego Chargers have fired coach Marty Schottenheimer.
Schottenheimer compiled a 47-33 record during five seasons in San Diego. But the Chargers haven't had much success in the playoffs.
San Diego suffered a tough loss to the New England Patriots in the AFC divisional round to close out the 2006 season.

Re: Chargers | Schottenheimer fired

Granted Schotzy always struggles in the playoffs, but they could do a lot worse in a head coach, and will if they hire Norv Turner.

As a Lions fan, it doesn't concern me. We have Matt Millen. All will be well.

Re: Chargers | Schottenheimer fired

Well they lost both their cordinators, he was in a position to have to hire a new staff. If he's not your man, then you should have a new coach start fresh instead of possible firing him next year if he struggles, and firing the cordinators he hired this year.


Crappy timing but the cowboys hiring wade forced their hand

He never signed the extension.

I bet he is PO'd about that now.

Re: Chargers | Schottenheimer fired

This is all AJ Smith, he has hated Martys guts for quite a while now. It was a matter of time before one of them had to go.
