McBoog Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Given the fact that Marty let his OC (Cameron) and DC (Phillips) plus multiple important assistant coaches go to other teams so late in the game, I really do not see the Chargers doing any better or worse (can't get much worse). If you think it would be better, I would really like to know "How?" There was NOTHING in the pool of coaches that would have been able/willing to come in as OCs or DCs. Your honest input would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboyz1 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 They would be better because Marty knows how to get the ball to LT instead of getting cute with his fancy dancy play calling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Swerski Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Even with Marty, that defense wouldn't have played as well and the passing game would still be missing Parker and McCardell (although he was nearly done last year). And, IIRC, he may have been without both Phillips and Cameron anyway, which wouldn't have helped. That said, Marty is a much better HC than Turner and I really think that they would've been at lest 8-8 and probably 9-7, with a possible WC berth.

I appreciate the commentary. Whithout Cameron and Phillips, you too see this team was heading for a date with a hard wall! I think they would have been sub-500. Spanos took a gamble and it looks like he lost by hiring Turner. BUT, I think because of the way things shook out and the way Marty played them, a gamble had to be made. I will concede that Marty is prbably a better head man, almost Reaganesque in that he hires good people for the job, but that there was nobody "good" to bring in at that late date. I still think Marty had to go, but the way it all happened, the timing especially, the Bolts were pretty much hosed. I hope they can turn it around, but from what I have seen, Grits is looking smarter by the week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBoog Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 And I still haven't seen anybody justify 10+ wins if Marty has no OC or DC to actually do the game plans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturphy Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Voted 9+Wild Card. No Wade either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
