San Diego and Norv Turner. AJ Smith in one of the dumbest moves any GM has ever made fires Marty Schottenheimer. Why? Schottenheimer doesn't have a great post season history. There was also a rumor that the two of them didn't get along very well. AJ Smith then hires Norv Turner, a good offensive coordinator who is a two time loser as a head coach. Now San Diego is 1-3. They have a boatload of talent, but are executing like high school players. Smith deserves to get fired.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
close behind, Cam Cameron
Not really. Norv got a damn good team and is taking them down
Cam got a not so good team and is improving the offense and is being let down by the defense
Agree about Turner. No head coach material.
They may never recover. That San Diego D is full of holes.
Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit
Losing Wade didn't help any, either.

yea losing Cameron and Wade didnt help them at all, that vaunted 3-4 doesnt look so hot right now.
COMING SOON...

I've seen bits of all 4 chargers games...I think they quit on the front office.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
The latest rumor on ESPN and NFL Network is that A.J. Smith and his coach get the axe, replaced by one man.
USC's Pete Carroll
Carroll can't cut it in the big leagues...He'd be better off staying put, or taking bigger bucks with a different program.
Smith messed up by firing Schottenheimer but needless to say, if he becomes available next season, I would like to see him as the Bills GM.
agree about turner, though the blame must go to AJ smith for that one.
as for cameron, i thought he was an idiot after 2 weeks, sitting at 0-2.
now, after 4 weeks, sitting at 0-4, i think he's a bright guy. the offense is improving to the point where you can see they're going to be successful at what they do. the D is abysmal, and there needs to be some rebuilding, but i'm not demoralized.
i'm actually kinda psyched because cam was heralded as an offensive specialist, and there is immediate, visible progress in his area of specialty, basically with the talent the team had on hand.
the D quite simply needs to get younger and better up front. and at LB, and in the secondary... ugh... it seems like everybody got old and fell off a cliff at once, and the young guys haven't stepped up yet (if they ever will remains to be seen). there was too much to fix in one draft. anyway, they should have a great pick next year, and i like what i've seen out of mueller in his drafts.
I meant to say San Diego is a slam dunk over Miami. I can't imagine Smith survives the fiasco, and Turner will go back to doing what he's actually good at, coordinating an offense.
The only problem is it is early, and SD could still turn it around. Norv or no Norv their upcoming schedule is soft and their division isn't that great this year.
They would have been better off promoting Wade Phillips.
