Bucs just fire Morris. Damn it.

it would be hard to keep him after the team completely quit on him.

Time for Jerry Angelo to go.

kind of disagree on the OC since they were only halfway down that road. It's about time he realized that TE's can catch the ball but other than that I've got no problem really with Martz.

Angelo though, past time really.

So Norv Turner, AJ Smith won't be in this thread at the moment. Chargers fans must be livid.

What would really be funny is if Spanos repeated the same mistake he did when he fired Martyball: he was going to keep him, but changed his mind after all the good coaches were gone and his coordinators got poached, and got stuck with hiring Norv.

Quote:
Team president Ted Phillips said Tuesday that Martz's dismissal was coach Lovie Smith's decision.

"He decided today. That was Lovie's decision," Phillips said. "He's always had the decision making authority on his coaching staff and that's going to stay the same way."

He added: "Lovie met with Mike, they had some philosophical differences and a parting of the ways. That's the way to put it."
Sure sounds like a "resign or we're firing you anyway" scenario.

Do you have some sort of secondary following toward the Chargers? I know you pick for them all the time in our mock drafts.

Spanos is certainly out of touch with the fanbase no doubt, but then maybe he's looking to move the team anyway.

I think the mistake was less firing Marty than it was keeping AJ Smith who obviously is difficult to work with.

I do. My aunt lives in La Jolla, and every year for Christmas she would get me a jersey. I still have Dan Fouts, Kellen Winslow, Wes Chandler, James Brooks, Chuck Muncy . . . Christ, she even bought me a Ralph Benirschke jersey. They've always been my second-favorite team.

I have to admit, there have been times when I've been out there either alone or with the family and have been tempted to never return to Chicago (or the midwest) again.

Have the Chargers basically been running the Coryell system this whole time, or was there a period in which they went away from it?

Martyball is pretty much the opposite of Air Coryell.
