Phillips' former boss gets the boot

The Chargers canned Marty Schottenheimer, citing his "dysfunctional situation" with GM A.J. Smith.

Wade Phillips probably would have been San Diego's top candidate if he hadn't been hired by the Cowboys last week. Now I wonder whether the Cowboys could benefit by some of the Chargers assistants becoming available.

Cowboys' job search causes Chargers' job search


According to Dean Spanos, the president of the Chargers, one of the reasons San Diego fired Marty Schottenheimer was because he failed to keep his coaching staff around. One of those that left was defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, now the head coach of the Cowboys.
From the AP story: "That is absolutely unfair in my view," Schottenheimer told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. "We had no control over two guys who became head coaches in this league.

Shouldnt holding onto Coordinators be an owners responsibility?

Show them the money and they might just show you some more years in your club house.

Nothing you can say nor spend will keep a coordinator from taking a headcoaching offer from the Dallas Cowboys.

We were looking at Capers while Parcells was still here. After he left, we showd no interest as a HC.

I know Ron Rivera is a 4-3 DC, but I wonder if he will fill the Chargers HC position. He talked as if he could make either D work for him.

That was a load of baloney. Just a case of people saying anything to get a job.

I thought it was pretty obvious he was married to the 4-3.

He even said he thought we had the personel to run a 4-3, why even mention it.
