“Marty Schottenheimer can’t catch the ball for us,” Pro Bowl tight end Antonio Gates said during the playoffs. “Marty Schottenheimer can’t make tackles for us. He puts us in situations to make plays; he puts us in situations to win ballgames.”
Gates has inadvertently summarized Schottenheimer's entire coaching career. |

Just as well for Marty.....He probably didn't want to move to LA with the team anyway.

Back in the closet go the Charger fans. Maybe they will come back out next decade. |

COACHING. You can look at the missed FG or you can evaluate why they were kicking in the first place. Everybody remembers Nate Kaeding and the 50-yard miss in the playoffs three years ago. Only those of us that care remember that the Chargers had 1st-and-10 at the Jet 40 and RAN THE BALL THREE STRAIGHT TIMES in order to setup their ROOKIE kicker for a 49-yard attempt IN THE RAIN. |

[QUOTE=Lzen]Uhhhh.....nope.
Getting to the playoffs is only half the battle. Good coaches should have around a .500 playoffs record. ------------------------------------- uhhh sorry, let's do the math again: 12 teams make the playoffs -- only TWO end up with a winning record. The other ten come away 0-1 or 1-1. (Yeah even the ones with home field advantage) So No, like it or not, a good coach who leads his team to the playoffs every year, WILL compile an ugly record.... about 9 times out of 10... unless they're fortunate enough to reach the Super Bowl. |

Chuck Knox is widely viewed as the precursor to Marty. Yet, he had a career playoff record of 7-11 -- he only went one-and-out five times in 11 tries (compared to Marty's 9 in 13). |

And one more point -- Marty never had great teams here. And part of that is Marty's fault for going with simple schemes. It's Marty's whole coaching philosophy, not just game-time decisions that have hurt him. |

Without reading the whole thread, does anyone else wonder if A.J. Smith specifically kept Marty employed until all of the other coaching jobs were filled?
The Chargers are sooooo stupid. Sure, Marty has the curse in the playoffs, but the Chargers were a perennial 5-11 team before he showed up, and they'll be back there again. If Marty has a playoff curse, the Chargers have a regular season curse.
