I voted for Green. You know he wants the job. I don't think they'll hire him
but I think it would be so funny if they fired Marty because he wanted to hire his brother, and then hired the king of Nepotism to replace him.

Holy moly!! Czar of Nepotism Bidwill hires both Emperor of Nepotism Buddy Ryan and King of Nepotism Denny Green.
King of pain, I'll always be, king of pain, I'll always be.

The Chargers are so laughable on this one. It smacks of a typical divorce. No matter what one partner does , it is never good enough for the other, and their always seems to be a future partner waiting in the wings, i.e. the other woman/man.
One of the measuring sticks for crowning a coach as great, is to list his assistants and their ascension to HC positions. Marty did exactly this and is being fired for it. No wonder most HCs are paid so well. They are the whipping boys of every organization. When the HC becomes the face of the organization, that becomes the kiss of death.

REX RYAN A CHARGERS CANDIDATE
One name that quickly has emerged as a potential candidate for the sudden vacancy in San Diego is Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan.
Ryan, the son of former Eagles and Cardinals coach Buddy Ryan and the twin brother of Raiders defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, has spent the last eight years with the Ravens. He replaced Mike Nolan as defensive coordinator when Nolan was hired by the 49ers.
Look for Ryan to be one of the first guys interviewed for the job.

Chargers coaching search begins quickly
Jay Glazer / FOXSports.com
The San Diego Chargers have wasted little time in looking for a replacement
for Marty Schottenheimer.
Several league sources have told FOXSports.com that the Chargers have requested permission to interview Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan and Saints defensive coordinator Gary Gibbs, among others.
Rivera, who also was slated to fly out to San Diego to interview within the next 48 hours.
In addition, while USC head coach Pete Carroll's name has been hot, team sources contend he is not a viable option at this point.
San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinater Norv Turner could also be a candidate, as well as Seattle asstistant head Jim Mora.
The Chargers fired Schottenheimer after 14-2 season in 2006, citing a "dysfunctional situation" between the coach and general manager A.J. Smith. Schottenheimer has a career record of 200-126-1 with Cleveland, Kansas City, Washington and San Diego.

Don't expect many big names in Chargers' search
By John Clayton
ESPN.com
The timing of Marty Schottenheimer's firing couldn't have been worse.
Two of the best candidates -- offensive coordinator Cam Cameron and defensive coordinator Wade Phillips -- already left San Diego for other head coaching jobs in Miami and Dallas, respectively. Three other key assistants are also gone. Scrambling at this late date to put together a head coaching search won't be easy. General manager A.J. Smith will be looking to find a head coach he can get along with, something that didn't happen for the past four years with Schottenheimer.
As we saw in the Miami and Dallas coaching searches, don't expect many big names. Dolphins coach Wayne Huizenga tried to make a splash when he visited USC coach Pete Carroll while he was on vacation in Costa Rica, but that didn't amount to anything more than just an interesting job interview. Expect the Chargers to hire an NFL assistant, preferably with some head coaching experience.
Here are some of the names bound to surface as the Chargers search for Schottenheimer's replacement.
Ron Rivera, defensive coordinator, Chicago Bears: Rivera will get one of the first calls from Smith. Rivera and Cameron were considered the hot assistant coaches. Success made it more difficult for Rivera. Like most coaches who coach in the Super Bowl, it's hard for them to get serious consideration for head coaching jobs. The Cowboys were well along the way to hiring Wade Phillips or Norv Turner, so Rivera didn't really have much of a chance for the Cowboys' job. Now, he's got a legitimate shot at this one. Although he's a 4-3 coach, he could come in and learn the 3-4. That shouldn't be hard. He's a good coach and was an NFL linebacker.
Jim Haslett, defensive coordinator, St. Louis Rams: A.J. Smith was in the Bills' organization during their top years. Haslett was a longtime Buffalo player and had great respect within the organization. Haslett isn't as married to the 4-3 defense as other coaches who might be interviewed. He ran the 3-4 when he coordinated the Steelers defense and played in the 3-4.
Norv Turner, offensive coordinator, San Francisco 49ers: Turner just signed an extension with the 49ers, but he was the Chargers' offensive coordinator in 2001. Turner finished second to Wade Phillips in Dallas, but the Chargers are a better team on paper. It's not out of the question for the Chargers to do what the Cowboys were considering. They could hire Turner to be head coach and handle the development of Philip Rivers and also outbid the Bears to get Rivera as the defensive coordinator. Rivera's contract with the Bears runs out at the end of the month.
Jim Mora, assistant head coach, Seattle Seahawks: Mora always will be in the mix for a number of jobs. He's a bright, young coach and he learned from three years as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. Mora is happy now that he is relocating to Seattle, but who wouldn't be tempted by a 14-win team that is in the hunt for a Super Bowl?
Jim Caldwell, assistant head coach, Indianapolis Colts: Caldwell interviewed for a couple of jobs, and he probably doesn't get enough credit for Indianapolis' success. He has a great relationship with Peyton Manning and he's a good coach.
Mike Singletary, assistant head coach, San Francisco 49ers: With each interview, Singletary keeps getting closer to an inevitable head coaching job. He's a good teacher. That became clear when he was miked up during the Senior Bowl. It's a shame he didn't get a coordinator job to further his development, but Singletary seems to have a head coaching job in his future. It's just a matter of when.
Ted Cottrell, former defensive coordinator, Buffalo Bills: This might be a blast from the past, but Cottrell was on Schottenheimer's list to come and help the defense. Cottrell has a background with Smith from the Buffalo days. He's also still a good coach.
Pete Carroll, USC head coach: Not happening. Even though Carroll would love to coach a West Coast NFL team, this doesn't appear to be the time. First, Carroll wants to have control of the front office and the coaching staff. Why would he leave the Trojans for anything less?
Bill Callahan, Nebraska head coach: This might be a long shot but it deserves some consideration. Callahan coached in the AFC West and he was successful. The Raiders went to a Super Bowl under his watch. He can bring a good staff on offense and defense.
Bill Cowher, former head coach, Pittsburgh Steelers : Cowher is sitting out 2007 and possibly 2008. Plus, he's one of Schottenheimer's best friends. For those reasons alone, he wouldn't come to San Diego.
Jimmy Johnson, former head coach, Cowboys and Dolphins: Johnson prefers the beach, but he does have a great relationship with Dean Spanos. Spanos will certainly call him. Johnson will take the call, put on more sunscreen and go back to the boat.
Mike Martz, offensive coordinator, Detroit Lions: Martz has one of the best offensive minds in football. He'd love to move to the west coast and would love to get the chance to work with Rivers and LaDainian Tomlinson.

They play anybody,anywhere, have been pretty suucessful, and put alot of guys into the NFL.I can't remember his name, Pat something i think.

I'll throw another name in the pool, Jeff Tedford. Cal extended him recently but its' been reported the extension was never finalized and now that Cal is facing legal battles over the plan to build a new sports center on campus, he may toss his name into the pool to see if he can force things at Cal?
plus just think of the numbers Tomlinson and Rivers could put up in that amazing system they run at Cal.

Would Rivers be told only to look at half the field when passing?

Chargers receive permission to interview 4 candidates
February 13, 2007
SAN DIEGO (AP) -- The Chargers received permission Tuesday to interview four candidates to replace fired head coach Marty Schottenheimer, including one-time San Diego offensive coordinator Norv Turner. Turner was offensive coordinator with the Chargers in 2001. He's currently the offensive coordinator of the San Francisco 49ers. He interviewed for the Dallas Cowboys' head coaching job that went to Wade Phillips, the Chargers' former defensive coordinator.
The Chargers also received permission to interview Hall of Famer 49ers assistant head coach Mike Singletary and Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, both of whom interviewed for the Cowboys job. The fourth candidate is Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan.
The Chargers did not say when the candidates would be interviewed. Schottenheimer was fired Monday night by team president Dean Spanos, who cited a "dysfunctional situation" between Schottenheimer and general manager A.J. Smith. The Chargers were an NFL-best 14-2 before losing their playoff opener to New England.

it sounds like the chargers are looking for a defensive minded coach. norv turner is the offensive mind on that list. imo, they want a defensive mind then they need to get jim mora as there head coach. he is still young and has experience as a head coach. i feel he would fit in nicely in san diego.
