I bet Cameron is pissed...he could have been the coach with a little patience...

Same here. It must have been the Operation Rolling Thunder of F-bombs.

I know but stranger things have happened. Who else would you fired a coach for after 14 wins? Money talks...

I could see Parcells coming back to an ideal situation such as that. If he does, just hand them the Lombardi. Not even Bellicheck could stop them.

True, Mr. Rooster. Plus, this is one heck of a job for someone. Young, talented team. Relatively easy division, plenty of money to spend on players. Great city.

This is the vacancy of all vacancies.

Yes. I'm thinking something along the lines of Chevy Chase's tirade in Christmas Vacation, but with much more proficient use of the F-Bomb.

My guess: Marty got tired of the bullsh*t, went nuts, knowing full well the ramifications of his actions. Technically a firing, but essentially a resignation.

Cowher isn't the kind of guy that's motivated by money. He's got more than enough for the rest of his life. Ego, challenge, and prestige are what drives him. When he misses that enough, he'll be back to coach, maybe in a year or few. Right now he just wants to recharge his batteries and spend some time with his family.

Cowher's got plenty of money and besides that, his youngest daughter is in high school in N.C. and his other daughters are in college. He wants to spend some quality time with them, so Cowher to S.D. doesn't make much sense.

The Spanos family has been notoriously cheap, so I don't think they'd spend the necessary to even lure Pete Carroll.

I don't know about that.

Parcells hasn't won anything without Bellichick, and his teams without Bellichick have been fairly mediocre.

Al Saunders

Heir Coryell!

I dont see how this is good for the Chargers, regardless of his lack of post season success, he built that damn team. He may be a choker in the play offs, but he knows how to build teams. I bet they are worse next year.

There's a thought.

Do you really think they'd re-hire Saunders?

He knows how to build a defense, but he's never shown an ability to build the kind of offense the Chargers have.

That team was built by John Butler and AJ Smith.

Marty just managed the product.
