Well, I guess the timing isn’t as bad as it sounds for the Chargers. If they need to replace both coordinators and there is a rocky relationship with the head coach, may as well get rid of Marty. A new coach will want to bring in new coordinators anyway. So, I disagree with the move, but understand the timing. The draft is fast approaching and the combine is around the corner.

Was this a good move? I don’t think so. I’m not Marty’s biggest fan, but you can’t disregard the fact that all this guy does is win everywhere he goes. Yes, his post season record isn’t anything to write home about. But has it really been that far from 2000 when the Chargers were the laughing stock of the NFL? Remember 1-15. That’s not a date. That was the Chargers record. Has it been that long ago since Eli basically said he would play Professional Frisbee before he’d play for the Chargers? Do they now hold Super Bowl or bust as their mantra? If so, I can understand, but shouldn’t they pause to think about the coach that performed so well that he enabled this mentality to be developed. Super Bowl or not, Marty played an enormous role in bringing respectability to this Franchise. He has been their best coach since Don Coryell. That’s over 20 years. OK, AJ Smith, you got what you wanted. Even though the next guy will have an easier road to glory than Marty, you better hope you don’t get what you deserve. Go ask the Tampa Bay Bucs about Karma.

Good Luck Marty. I know you will land on your feet. Hell, I will take you in Detroit if this Marinelli experiment doesn’t work out.
