Chargers Tell Marty “You’re Fired!”
ESPN is reporting that the Chargers have fired Head Coach Marty SchottenheimerÂ
I just don’t get this move. Well, yeah I do….sorta. After losing both coordinators and a couple of other coaches, Chargers brass decided that the Marty headache just wasn’t worth it any more.
Whatever. The guy got you to 14-2 with an untested QB and no real wide receivers. Also, everyone knows that Marty and G.M. A.J. Smith do not get along. The Chargers aren’t trying to hide that this was the biggest part of the equation. So now the Chargers are left without a coaching staff in what is a very thin head coaching market. There just aren’t any big names left. I’ll have more on this later, I just wanted to jump in while the jumping was good.

The Chargers made a move that I feel was purposful so that Marty would not have an opportunity to interview for the Dallas Cowboys. If they had fired him weeks earlier he may have been a front runner to coach America’s Team.
They waited and fired him after all coaching positions had been filled.
That is really low when you think about it.
