Crazy Kinda of Funny Unrealistic Scenario
Chargers really wanted Wade Phillips as the head coach, so they are going to go to Jerry and tell him that they want Jason Garrett to be their next head coach and they will be in a bind (because he has to let him go interview) But Jerry with is man love for the wonderful Jason Garrett, releases Wade of his duties and makes Jason the HC and Phillips would be San Diego's HC

we arnt the only team that said no thanks to Rivera
I bet the Chargers look at Norv now...Cameron did a great job with that offense, Norv is a better coach than Cameron is

POSTED 9:12 p.m. EST; LAST UPDATED 9:29 p.m. EST, February 12, 2007
SCHOTT FIRED
The San Diego Chargers, their coaching staff decimated by the loss of offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, and linebackers coach Greg Manusky, have fired coach Marty Schottenheimer.
The move comes nearly four weeks after it was announced that Schottenheimer would be back for 2007.
And now that a new crop of recruits have signed on to attend USC, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Chargers court, and land, Trojans coach Peter Carroll.
In a statement issued by the team on Monday night, president Dean Spanos said attributed the move to a "dysfunctional situation," and that an "intense search" for a successor will begin.
"Our fans deserve to know what changed for me over the last month," Spanos said. "When I decision to move ahead with Marty Schottenheimer in mid-January, I did so with the expectation that the core of his fine coaching staff would remain intact. Unfortunately, that did not prove to be the case, and the process of dealing with these coaching changes convinced me that we simply could not move forward with such dysfunction between our head coach and general manager. In short, this entire process over the last month convinced me beyond any doubt that I had to act to change this untenable situation and create an environment where everyone at Charger Park would be pulling in the same direction and working at a championship level. I expect exactly that from our entire Charger organization in 2007."
Although G.M. A.J. Smith has not yet been fired, keep in mind that the bulk of a front office's work is done in the days leading up to free agency and the draft. Come early May, we've got a feeling that Smith will be sent packing, too.
Back to Carroll, we're not swayed by the fact that Spanos promises an "intense search." If he says now that Carroll is the guy, the Chargers will never be able to comply with the Rooney Rule, which requires that at least one minority candidate be interviewed for the job.
Regardless of where the team goes next, the move marks a stunning end to an otherwise stellar season.

Wow.
Bad move. I know he had a horrible playoff record, but he WAS 14-2 in the regular season, and more importantly, his players loved playing for him. I wonder what LT is thinking right now.

It wouldn't shock me at all if Carroll jumped ship now that his corrupt program is facing intense scrutiny and impending sanctions. (or so I hope)
