San Diego Union-Tribune reports Chargers HC Norv Turner will be fired at end of season and GM A.J. Smith could join him.

He'll probably be offered another HC position somewhere...I could see Indy if they let go of Caldwell. He's better suited for OC, though..

AJ Smith fires Shotenheimer when he goes 14-2.

What an idiot. Then he hires Turner who has never been successful and it has gone downhill ever since.

Both should have been gone already.

Agreed. Turner must be blackmailing some NFL owners to get as many shots as he has had. One of the best QB's in the league and still can't win much.

Very common misconception. AJ Smiths boss was on board, with firing Marty, and was pushing for the Norv hire.

Almost worked too, they went to the AFC Championship game the year after.

That said, it's time to go. I think Cowher makes the most sense here, especially if the fire AJ as well as Norv.

AJ does seem to have a knack for finding free agents to plug in when needed and has had some good drafts in the past. But he's a vindictive, cantakerous ass and needs to go out the door with Norv.

Or Norv could stay on board as OC if Cowher should come to town. I dont believe anyone is going to give Turner another HC opportunity.

True that, but essentially with the team Marty built. It's been under achieving and disapointment since then in a slow downward spiral.

Marty forced the issue by insisting that Kurt Schottenheimer replace Wade as DC. Dean Spanos had instituted a no-relative policy after letting Marty hire his son Brian. Had they let Kurt be DC, the idea of going into 07 with Shelmon and Kurt as our coordinators sounded downright scary.

Which kinda didn't work because firing Schotty went so long into the post season both Wade and Cam Cameron left town for HC jobs. So no Schotty, Wade or Cameron left as HC, OC and DC.

By this time the only thing left was scrap heap head coaches. Hello Norv.

Not disagreeing, but how many coaches have been to the AFC Championship game and let go right after?

Until recently, the AFC has been a much tougher conference at the top than the NFC. The Chargers were always having to go against 4 really good teams to get there. Ravens, Pats, Indy, and the Steelers.

      I truly do not understand why we rushed him back last season, we were a bad team with an already productive back in Chuba. Brooks looked like he was 60% back and clearly hadn’t regained full movement in his knee and confidence, no surprise he got reinjured. Shame on this training staff, look no further then Chuba returning too soon this season, I don’t care how bad a player wants to come back a training staff is there to protect them. Brooks is a great person and was an amazing player prior to both injuries, I hope he’s recovering well.

      Brother thanks for sharing and all. Just for a 21 year army guy you sure over used your brain power on this interaction little too much...  Not that's Im taking a side or nothing, Ive never been a bully fan * in extreme deals bullying in needed..... I've heard from smart people in and around Panthers, Smitty needed Angie for guidance BADLY.  I've honestly thought if Smitty was born 20 years later, he should have taken a MMA path and not only would he have been a champion but a humbled good man with or without Angie helping him. He has never took off the enmoureous chip on his shoulder and it has branched off as a stick in arse over time too. Still everyone can not be or act the same with emotions, we are chemical sacks of water and bones. He reminds me of brain-washed individuals that can not turn off the switch. Plus he is high on thinking he's smarting than he is.......its a dangerous combo, but that's mainly what gave him the edge in life to live out the American dream......soooo I dare say change, but its sad at the same time. All those poor women that get involved with narcissistic disloyal men, one of the few times I agree to take what ever form them in court...

      Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.
