Updating an ongoing story, the San Diego Chargers announced they have signed head coach Norv Turner to a three-year contract extension that will keep him with the team through the 2013 season. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Back away from the ledge, Buck. It's not worth it.

Nolan leaves
Norv gets extended
The AFC West has gone bonkers

LMAO

Marty goes 14-2 loses in the Playoffs and gets fired.

Norv goes 13-3 and loses in the playoffs and gets an extension.

I hear that Buckinkaeding tried to commit suicide when he heard this, but Nate Kaeding missed when he tried to kick the chair.

Supposedly the Chargers players were taunting the Jets players. Saying they didn't belong in the playoff. They overlooked the Jets and Norv gets an extension

This is good news !

up next.... Extend LT for a few more years too?

and the next thing you know, Vincent Jackson kicked it fifteen yards.

This has been in the making for a while but I think with that stupid decision he made last night that should have been re-evaluated.

ROFLROFL:clap: Repped. Laugh of the night.

Best offseason . . . since the last one!

This can't be true.

All I can say is that Norv must be very good in bed.

Marty made the mistake of going toe-to-toe with A.J. Smith over personnel matters and got the Spanos family involved in a heated battle.

Smith won.

Thats the most awesome thing ive heard on here!! KUDOS

Tee hee.

The stars are aligning.

Yup, Smith just wants a yes man at coach. Norv is that.

IIRC it also was family matters...ie wanting to hire his brother and son

Of course that could have been his play to get fired

There's nothing wrong with that. The GM takes care of personnel, the coach takes care of the players.

Marty, as he did in Kansas City and Washington, tried to take control of the franchise.

And lost.

Vincent Jackson was arrested again before playoff game

On Sunday, we posted an item regarding the status of Chargers receiver Vincent Jackson's legal entanglement from the days preceding the team's 2008 division-round loss to the Steelers.

And, as luck would have it, Jackson encountered another legal entanglement in the hours preceding the team's 2009 division-round loss to the Jets.

According to 10news.com, Jackson was pulled over by a San Diego police officer on Sunday.

A department spokesman said the officer stopped Jackson because his music was too loud.

The officer cited Jackson for having expired vehicle tags and driving with a suspended license, a misdemeanor under California law. Jackson was handcuffed "for a short period of time," but the officer opted not to take Jackson to jail.

Still, Jackson's car was impounded, and he hitched a ride to the game with quarterback Philip Rivers.

Jackson's DUI charges from January 2008 are still pending.

Rivers is overjoyed. LMAO

That is the BEST pic! I love it! :clap:

I figured that the on-side kick decision would be enough to start passing out pink slips to everybody. I didn't realize AJ would be ordering them from Nordstrom.

I think this is the best news! Some players will quit on a coach that has no accountability.

Like the new avatar? :evil:

And people call this guy the best GM in sports? That owner needs to fire HIM.

Speaking of Marty, what is he doing now?

Nursing a sore ribcage from laughing his ass off yesterday?

Not working?

I wasn't certain if he was still working on ESPN or NFL Network or something. So he is nowhere right now?

I think he might be on Sirius but I'm not certain because I don't have Sirius.

So as far as I know, nothing.

I love it! And I'm not talking about the movie! :)

I hate Ol' Norv as much as the next guy, but is it really his fault that the kicker missed three field goals?

ROFL

What a jackass.

The AFC West is ours!

I heard that joke for the first time when Jan Stenerud missed the 22 yarder that would have beat the Dolphins in the 1971 playoff game.

This brings me joy as Turner will only speed up the demise of the dolts.

How's that since he got them closer to the Super Bowl than any previous coach since Bobby Ross?

San Diego is a very good team. Yes, they blew it yesterday. But once they finally get over LT and bring in a real running back through the draft this year, get back guys like Castillo and Brown, not to mention Merriman, this team will be a playoff team for years.

If the Chargers had kept Michael Turner instead of LT, they'd have been a Super Bowl team last year.

Didn't marty do the same thing when he was coach them?

Marty was fired for reasons that had nothing to do with what the Chargers did that season.

Norv might have gotten them closer than marty, but marty won more games and their results and superbowl appearances are the same.

As a chiefs fan I was glad they fired him. I thought he would win the big one with that team.

Here's the problem - Norv is an excellent regular season coach.

Sure, he'll choke in the playoffs, but who really cares? They'll whup our ass twice a year and we won't be within sniffing distance of capitalizing on their post-season yack job.

I was hoping they'd can Norv and bring in some young coordinator who proceeds to pull a McDaniels and sabatoge the organization.

Marty got them to the AFC Divisional Game in 2007. He went 14-2 to get there. Disagree with the Michael Turner comment too, but that's just speculation on both our parts, right? Nothing to argue there.

Okay, maybe my comment was a bit optimistic. Wishful thinking perhaps. But the decision to go for the onside kick seems like a harbinger of bad things to come for Coach Turner. One of those watershed moments of fate that doom a coach's future with his current franchise. Hell, that play may have secured Norv a place on the next NFL Films epic fail highlight reel. We'll see.

But more importantly, a lot of Norv's talent came from Marty's drafts. [Two of the players you mentioned, Castillo and Merriman, were Marty's picks. Not sure who Brown is.] Will they be able to retain that talent? Replenish it? Can Norv win in SD with his own players?

But I do agree with you in that the dolts should be a good team next year as they'll likely retain the core of their talent. Here's the draft breakdown:

We had this argument the other day, but the man is extremely fortunate. He's been able to be a head coach for the better part of the last 15 years, pretty much the entire salary cap era... and he's barely achieved squat.

He took over a Schottenheimer team that had a decent playoff run, but they still lost in the AFC title game. I don't think he's Rich Kotite or anything, but I think if you even gave someone like Herm 15 years, he'd probably chalk up one decent playoff run. Every year we hear how great they are and they're the team to beat, yet they never beat anybody.

ROFL ROFL

norv is the man... a 10 year extension is what most of us Chiefs fans envisioned. :)

Marty is getting ready to coach in the shrine game.

Crennel will be the other coach.


Norv will go as far as Ron Rivera will let him go. I hope they lose him, that would make this abnormally juicy.

That is ha-larious.

****.

He's on Sirius with Solomon Wilcotts (The Red Zone) from 1pm to 3pm. He's adamant about never coaching again. Reading between the lines based on comments made on Sirius he was probably offerred the Billls job but turned it down. Seems to me that would have been the perfect scenario for him so he's probably being genuine when he's says he's through with coaching.

You know that other thread? Where everyone piled on the guy for not wanting to be a Chargers fan any more? How I and others said you have to support your team through thick and thin?

F**k that, dude. I changed my mind. Buy a Raiders jersey.

Wow. Good news for the other three teams in the AFCW and the other teams in the NFL. I dislike LT, so I can but laugh at the fact that the rest of his productive career is going to be wasted under Norv. No ring for you bitch.

Why the LT hate?

ROFL

Now if only we can get Al Davis to franchise tag Jamarcus........:D

I'm not a hater but I get it. He seems to do an awful lot of whining and pointing fingers for someone who has such a high opinion of himself.

Great news---Nov's the man

Great Post. Marty sure did get some hits in his drafts.

I wonder what the deal is with Buster Davis?

Sigh. Buck apparently just doesn't realize how we operate here.

Okay, guys. Positive frazod-big-stick rep for everybody who changes their avatar to match mine.

:fire:

Agreed. The team he did build (The Redskins) never did anything in his 8 years there.

Sorry to say, but it looks like the Chargers aren't going to have a shot at the Super Bowl for another decade or so. Sorry guys.

A 58 yrd attempt. Kaeding is a lot of things but Sebastian Janikowski is not one of them.

Farty and Norf have had very little say in who the team drafts. It's all AJ Smif.

Awesome

K.A.E.D.I.N.G. = Kicks Ass Except During Important NFL Games.

Marty had absolutely nothing to do with their drafts.

NOTHING.

:facepalm:

THAT'S WHY HE WAS FIRED! He tried to take control of personnel from AJ Smith and went directly to the Spanos family.

They chose AJ.

End of story.

If that's the case, then it really won't matter who the coach is as long as they keep drafting like that.

Brilliant Idea :clap:

REP! LMAO

Report: Ralph Wilson nixed potential return of Martyball
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on January 19, 2010 5:49 PM ET
Bills owner Ralph Wilson's affinity of football men of a certain age has its limits.

Tim Graham of ESPN reports that Marty Schottenheimer "badly" wanted the Bills coaching job, but Wilson was never on board.

Schottenheimer worked previously with G.M. Buddy Nix, and publicly soft-pedaled his interest in the gig. But his experience with Nix didn't matter because Wilson "wasn't comfortable" with Schottenheimer.

The news helps to explain why Marty's son Brian turned down a chance to interview. But it's unlikely to calm the anger of Bills fans or change the perception that Chan Gailey was a fallback choice.

Bills fans would probably prefer a coach with Schottenheimer's track record if the team was looking for someone with head coaching experience.

Very interesting. Seems like that would have been a match made in heaven. Buffalo is the perfect blue collar martyball town. That fanbase would have welcomed him with open arms.

This should be the expression on every Charger fan's face, upon hearing this news.
