The Surprise In San Diego

February 13, 2007

Some were shocked when Marty Schottenheimer was fired this week as the head coach of the San Diego Chargers. That's the same Chargers who led the NFL with a 14-2 record this year. Nobody did a better job over the 17-week regular season, not even Tony Dungy.

But I bet one guy who wasn't stunned at all is new Cowboys coach Wade Phillips, who left San Diego last week to take over in Dallas.
I was listening to an interview with Phillips when he made the comment that he thought people were wrong about Dallas being "his last chance at a head coaching job." He said something to the effect of "nobody knows what's going to happen in San Diego."
I have a feeling Wade did know. But neither journalist on the show caught what might have been a slip of information and followed up on it.
It's the first thing I thought of when I heard the news on Marty yesterday.
