    BREAKING NEWS Alert
    Chargers Fire Schottenheimer
    The Chargers fired Marty Schottenheimer on Monday, reports ESPN's Chris Mortensen. Schottenheimer led San Diego to a 14-2 regular-season record, only to lose in the AFC divisional playoffs.

    Sources: Chargers head coach Schottenheimer firedESPN.com news services


    Sources close to Marty Schottenheimer and the San Diego Chargers said the coach was fired by the team Monday, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported.

    Schottenheimer and Chargers general manager A.J. Smith have been having disagreements over staffing after losing a number of assistants. Dean Spanos, the team president, told Schottenheimer on Monday that it wasn't going to work between him and Smith.

    Three days after the Chargers melted down in a stunning 24-21 playoff loss to New England, Spanos decided that bringing Schottenheimer back for the final year of his contract gave San Diego its best chance to win.

    Schottenheimer, though, declined the team's offer of a one-year extension for 2008 worth $4.5 million, with a $1 million buyout.

    "Right now, I wasn't comfortable accepting it," Schottenheimer told the Associated Press shortly after the season. He would have earned more than $3 million in 2007.

    With a regular-season record of 200-126-1 with Cleveland, Kansas City, Washington and San Diego, Schottenheimer is the most successful coach never to have reached the Super Bowl.

    WOW; that's all I have to say

    Almost have to wonder if there wasn't some serious chemistry issues between the coach and players.
    TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

            The Spanos' family seems like they WANT to sabotage their team. The team loses 2 assistants to boot.

            Well, maybe there's a chance for Shermy yet.

              That's a strange move considering that they were offering an extension to him. I guess the all time choker finally got booted. To bad they had to do it with all the major coaching positions filled.

                Maybe now that the college recruits have their names on the dotted line, some big name coaches could be talked into going to the next level.

                    Enter Mike Sherman!!!

                    What a stupid thing to do at this point.

                    TT should call Ladainian and ask him to hold out for a trade.

                      At this point, common logic would dictate that the replacement is already on that staff

                        i think hiring the D coordinators from PIT or BALT could be the best moves. with marty and phillips gone, their 3-4 defense is in danger, even though they have superior players in those positions.

                          not sure about that. they lost their HC, O and D coordinators, TE coach, LB coach. they promoted RB to O coordinator BEFORE marty got fired, so that might change again. there sure a lot of holes to fill for the coaching staff.

                              I'll bet ol Kurt is just giddy over this. Now at the Schottenheimer Easter gathering, he will finally be in front of one of his brothers in the line for the ham. Provided the Packers don't pull his rug out from under his feet.
