broncosn05 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Even with the best record in the NFL, yes. Can't win the big game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egret Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Wasn't there talk about that already? Doesn't he have issues with management or ownership and vice versa? If that's the reason, that's fine. You don't fire him for losing this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncosn05 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 this game. One game I'm sure that's the only reason. Pats are a hell of a team though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Ryan Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 He didnt fumble a punt or fumble an INT. Those 2 mistakes alone gave NE the chance to win this game. BTW, Merriman aint the same without the roids. I was rooting for SD in this game, because I love their offense, but if any part of me wanted them to lose, its because Merriman is on that roster.

Menudo Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) Even with the best record in the NFL, yes. Can't win the big game. They used to say that about Cowher..... and Elway. Edited January 15, 2007 by Menudo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 They used to say that about Cowher..... and Elway. The difference being he was around before either of them and they are STILL saying it about Marty. (okay, I fudged, he wasn't around before Johnny Bronco) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpholmes Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) Marty is 5-13 in the playoffs as a HC. (0-2 as Chargers') Also hasnt won a playoff game since 1993... Not a stat I want to see as a team owner. Especially on a talented team. Edited January 15, 2007 by kpholmes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwacked Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 His teams are always overrated. SD lost a heartbreaker after turning it over 4 times. I don't know about the overated part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpholmes Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 Marty just said: "Any time you lose in a playoff game, and trust me I have plenty of expierence at it, theres frustration" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishFreak Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 He should absolutely get fired. The Chargers WERE the best team in football this year. The Chargers started the game tight and made mental mistakes throughout the game. His playoff record is awful and he just seems to always come up short. There is no reason why he should be brought back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 If he were to get fired, I hope the Rooney's bring him in. He was Cowher's mentor, and he can get the monkey off his back with the Steelers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowboutthemCowboys Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 They used to say that about Cowher..... and even though it took 15 years and some "special" officiating he finally got one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramhock Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Martz or Marty? I couldn't tell with all that passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 They used to say that about Cowher..... and Elway. It's still true about Elway. He rode TD's back to those SB wins. Getting rid of Marty would be stupid. He's not perfect - took him forever to realize he should pretty much ride LT till he drops - but he's a very good coach.

FishFreak Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 ...and who do you replace him with? It doesn't have to be a big name coach. Just some fresh blood to hold down the fort with some discipline. The Chargers are loaded with talent. That's what makes this loss so tough, it really seemed like their year. Marty is just one of those guys that doesn't seem to get it done come playoff time for what ever reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty is one of those coaches who you look at and say "eh, we can get somebody better than him" - and all his former teams - Browns, Chiefs, and even Washington - are still looking.

There is no reason why he should be brought back. Um...no. They are a one-trick pony, as you have seen yet again today. Granted the pony has another couple of very minor tricks but if you're that reliant on one man, you ain't the best team. How do you blame Schottenheimer for that personal foul that kept the NE drive going? What about the INT immediately followed by the fumble? These all his fault? And, as Chavez asked, who replaces him? You seen the crud that's going door to door on the NFLs annual coaching tour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, as Chavez asked, who replaces him? You seen the crud that's going door to door on the NFLs annual coaching tour? What are you smoking? The Chargers are talented from top to bottom with Pro Bowlers. Sure LT is the MVP of the league but that doesn't mean they are a one pony show. The difference maker in this game was coaching. Belicheck kept his team close and gave them a chance to win, Marty kept his team from winning as he always seems to do come playoff time. Seriously, what does Marty bring to the table at this stage in his career? He's won a lot of regular season games but has tanked in the playoffs with some good teams. He's proven time and time again he doesn't have what it takes during the playoffs and that can't be disputed. It's time for the Chargers to go in a different direction and reach their potential.
