Cottrell's skills seem to go backwards. What's up with that. Nice man, though. Anyway, this Chargers team, you could stick a few cardboard cut outs on the sideline, and the team could probably do the same job as it's currently constituted. Hmmm. Tomlinson could make like the 'Coach' and the 'OC' said 'Give him the ball' in the final minutes and win the game. So, yes, cardboard cut outs, difference makers after all. Hehe.

Can you say "Rooney Rule".....

Actually one of the problems A.J. Smith had with Marty was that he wanted Cottrell to come in and take over the defense but Marty did not like him.

Also, if this was the Rooney Rule than Mike Singletary wouldn't be coming in for an interview.

Well that was short lived...............

SAN DIEGO (AP) -The Chargers received permission Tuesday to interview four candidates to replace fired head coach Marty Schottenheimer, including one-time San Diego offensive coordinator Norv Turner.

Turner was offensive coordinator with the Chargers in 2001. He's currently the offensive coordinator of the San Francisco 49ers. He interviewed for the Dallas Cowboys' head coaching job that went to Wade Phillips, the Chargers' former defensive coordinator.

The Chargers also received permission to interview Hall of Famer 49ers assistant head coach Mike Singletary and Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, both of whom interviewed for the Cowboys job. The fourth candidate is Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan.

The Chargers did not say when the candidates would be interviewed.

Schottenheimer was fired Monday night by team president Dean Spanos, who cited a "dysfunctional situation" between Schottenheimer and general manager A.J. Smith. The Chargers were an NFL-best 14-2 before losing their playoff opener to New England.

True enough, baamf. Hoy, a complicated subject; but people of color and the oft maligned, do you find yourselves feeling mildly insulted by a far more insidious form of racism as a result? Owners just want to win, and isn't the color of money the only color that matters to owners these days given their druthers?
