Just like chargersdiehard I too keep checking to see a “Chargers Clean House” type headline. However, at this point I just don’t see it happening anytime soon as SD ownership seems to have some odd belief (shared by no one else) that Turner & Smith are doing a good job. Strange that results simply don’t seem to matter when it comes to the Chargers. Anyway, money does seem to matter (a great deal) to ownership, so Turner will survive until the end of the season (when his contract expires), but Smith will very likely last another year (until his contract expires). That is, unless SD wins 3 of their last 4, then ownership will probably re-up these two. Crazy.

I think Norv is safe until the end of the year since he calls the offensive plays also and there isn’t a clear cut assistant coach they’d want as head coach and OC. Then again the Chargers offense has stunk recently, so a new coach calling plays couldn’t be much worse.

It is an odd season, given that we’ve had three interim head coaches (Cromer, Vitt, Arians) but no one’s been fired.

Jim Schwartz should be the first to go this offseason. Just terrible

I can’t freaking wait till the Bolts clean house. I keep checking for the headline “Norv/ AJ Axed” and I can’t believe it hasn’t happened yet. I don’t even like hearing that Norv is an offensive genius… maybe he was 15 years ago. Aj and his larger than life ego have chased all the pro bowl caliber talent out of town year after year. Grow some danglers Spanos and red tag these guys’ locker.

Fire them both and bring back Marty. Humble pie’s first bite is bitter, but it gets better by the bite. Marty has a great eye for talent and made the Chargers a powerhouse. After a few failures, to be nice, Norv should remain a OC and see a head coach’s position as the plague

If norv turner survives this week, ill be shocked. The Chargers had another game wrapped up and they blew it.

Are you sure? It is unfathomable that Leslie Frazier still has a head coaching job in the NFL.
