The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that Chargers coach Norv Turner is "all but certain" to be fired next week.
In interviews over the past several weeks, owner Dean Spanos "never once" denied that Turner's firing was forthcoming, and sources familiar with Spanos' thinking say the owner "feels he has no choice" but to relieve Turner of his duties. "There reaches a point of no return," said one source. Turner will be fired with the second best regular season win percentage (48-31, .608) in Chargers franchise history. He should quickly resurface as an offensive coordinator, and media speculation has the Jets as a potential suitor.
