I have been a Charger fan since I was in college during the Air
Coryell Era with Dan
Fouts, Kellen
Winlsow, and Chuck
Muncie. So when the Chargers went 14-2 last year, I was
excited for another Superbowl Run. Then Th New England Patriots crushed the Charger at home. I figured that was OK. It took the Indianapolis Colts a few years to figure out how to win, how to beat the Patriots, and finally win a Superbowl.
So what happened during of off-season, the Offensive & Defensive Coordinators took head coaching jobs and the GM fired the Head Coach Marty Schottenheimer because they did get along. What??
Anyway, the GM, AJ Smith hired Norv Turner to be the new head coach, I was a bit worried, Turner has a lousy record as a head coach, but I figured, he is known as a offensive genius and he never had much talent at his two stops as Head Coach. Ok so you hire a great offensive coach for the team that was the the highest scoring team and Top 10 defensive team last year.
Smith wanted a new coach because he was tired of losing in the first round of the play-offs and he want to make sure everyone knew he was the Big Boss.
Well, you did AJ, the Chargers will not lose in the first round of the playoffs this year, because, they won't be in the playoffs. The Chargers are 1-3 in September, they lost only 2 games all of last season and have already lost 3 games by the fourth week of this season.
Turner has done to Ladanian Tomlimson, last season's MVP and single season touchdown record holder, what no defense has been able to do, STOP him.
Smith was the assist GM in Buffalo, when they went 0-4 in the Superbowl, so the local San Diego press the perfect nickname for Smith, "Lord of No Rings".
