BOO-YA!

2/12/2007 9:06:16 PM

lots of people called this a long time ago

pat yourself on the back and shut up about it

2/12/2007 9:06:40 PM

*pat pat*

dammit, I wasted my thread of the hour on fucking Schottenheimer... sometimes when you win you really lose

2/12/2007 9:11:31 PM

^ haha

2/12/2007 9:13:02 PM

This is really dumb.

Way to wait until everyone is gone SD.

Including ALL of your coordinators.

2/12/2007 9:13:05 PM

wtf...

this is a retarded move. They're so close to the super bowl. Way to set your team back couple years.

2/12/2007 9:16:27 PM

someone start a Jaybee1200 for Mod thread please, I need my thread o' the hour back

2/12/2007 9:17:00 PM

hmmmm

Cowher?

2/12/2007 9:19:16 PM

wow what a dumb move

2/12/2007 9:20:45 PM

It's probably a good move for Schottenheimer anyway. He was in a no-win situation with most of his staff leaving.

2/12/2007 9:21:01 PM

I have a hard time believing they would fire him this late in the game unless they had someone they like already lined up.

At least I hope they wouldn't be that dumb.

2/12/2007 9:21:53 PM

You heard it here first, Norm Chow. But people would be crazy to take this job this late, because there are no good assistant left.

2/12/2007 9:23:38 PM

According to ESPN it was over a disagreement over which new assistants to hire.

2/12/2007 9:23:58 PM

I wouldn't say that.

Some guys would shit a brick to be able to draw up plays for LT to run.

2/12/2007 9:24:34 PM

And Phil to pass !!!111Juan!11

That makes it a little more plausible but it still seems too little too late.

2/12/2007 9:28:53 PM

Way to wait until the pool of candidates has been thinned out...

2/12/2007 9:29:48 PM

Schottenheimer said "Do you want to chop me up and feed me to tha poooork"

and the owner said "Did you say poor or pork, I cant tell"

2/12/2007 9:30:07 PM

hahaha

2/12/2007 9:35:14 PM

haha

what a great story

2/12/2007 9:36:04 PM

at least it isnt full of speculation

Quote :

"Statement from Chargers President Dean Spanos “Today I made an extremely difficult decision: Marty Schottenheimer is no longer the head coach of the San Diego Chargers. “This decision was so hard because Marty has been both a friend and valued coach of our team. But my first obligation is always to do what is in the best interest of our fans and the entire Charger organization. I must take whatever steps are necessary to deliver a Super Bowl trophy to San Diego. Events of the last month have now convinced me that it is not possible for our organization to function at a championship level under the current structure. On the contrary, and in the plainest possible language, we have a dysfunctional situation here. Today I am resolving that situation once and for all. “My decision means that our organization will be obligated to pay the last year of Marty Schottenheimer’s contract and will begin an intense search for a new head coach at this relatively late date, but these are sacrifices that I believe are necessary to give the Chargers the best possible chance to win on the field this season. “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.”"

That's only because we live in the age for the rush to be the first to post some information, without gaining the full details

2/12/2007 9:56:22 PM

2/12/2007 10:35:20 PM

They should have just promoted Cam Cameron when they had the chance.

2/12/2007 11:27:47 PM

they waited till all the other head coaching jobs were filled just to be pricks so schotty couldn't get another HC job

\/ wouldn't surprise me, but we'll never here about it

2/12/2007 11:35:24 PM

2/12/2007 11:46:06 PM

Damn.

2/12/2007 11:48:10 PM

Rex Ryan
Norm Chow
Ron Rivera
Pete Carroll


Guys I'm worried that Spanos will go after:

June Jones
Dan Reeves
Jim Mora
Parcells

2/13/2007 12:21:48 AM
