Say what you will about Marty Schottenheimer, but at least he got to the playoffs. The Chargers have hired Norv Turner to replace him. Turner, in his third go-round as a head man, has a lifetime record 24 games under .500 and one playoff appearance in nine seasons as a head coach.
To say this is a bad move is a serious understatement. Turner is a great offensive coordinator and reportedly one of the nicest men in football. He's also a lousy head coach, and a team with Super Bowl aspirations has to do better than this.

Have these people watched a single Redskins game? Like, you know, ever?
Posted by: Papa Shaft at February 20, 2007 10:31 AMI am simply flabbergasted. How could ANYONE think this was a good idea? Isn't there a top assistant available somewhere? Or a college coach? Or someone who plays a lot of Madden?
How many chances does one man get to fail abysmally before everyone realizes that he's a bad coach?

I wonder if this will occasion a Jemele Hill column on how only a white man gets this privilege ... ;-)

Nah. If she can't work in a groupie/baby-mama angle, Jemele won't be interested.
