1) Why the delay in the fire why now? There have been reports that the relationship between Marty and GM AJ Smith was dysfunctional for almost the whole season, so what the hell happened between the Pats loss and today that magnified this?
2) One of the rumored reasons is that Marty was allowing his position coaches go around the league and interview for O and D Coordinator positions, and it was within his right to deny them such opportunity. Was this really that big of a reason? Doesn't it seem like a dick move for a coach to deny his employers opportunity for advancement? AJ when dialed up by Wade Philips for this position coaches, when with the no soup for you reply.
3) Anyway that this firing came out of spite? Had Schottenheimer been fired weeks ago, while there were positions on the market, i.e. Miami, he almost would have certainly been hired. He does win wherever he goes. Anyway AJ decided he really wanted to screw him over for a year?
4) In the process it seems like the organization screwed themselves over, if this firing had been done immediately there could have been a seemless transition to Cam Cameron or Wade Philips. Did they know that neither Wade or Cam would have been an appropriate hire? They did in fact both get head coaching jobs so I'm not particularly seeing how they could have come to that conclusion, but who knows.
5) Speaking of Cam and Wade, do you think they are currently regretting the fact they took other jobs around the league? I would think Cam would be more disappointed as the Cowboys have a good chance of contending in the NFC, a weaker conference, while the Dolphins have major quarterback issues.
6) Where do they go now? With all the hirings come and gone who will they be able to interview? A big time assistant, a retread, a high profile college coach?
7) Chances Bill Cowher thinks about interviewing for this job? I know he wants to take off a year, but is there a better job in the NFL right now? Sunny San Diego, tons of talent. Seems like the perfect job to me. How much would the Chargers have to give up in compensation if he did agree to the position.
8) USC attack? Do the Chargers go out and interview both Pete Carroll
and Steve Sarkisian? And will either be intreagued to take the job? This certainly is a more intriguing job opportunity for Carroll than the Dolphins, but he did just garner the 3 best players in the country in his recruiting class, and USC is practically the perfect job for his skill set and character.
9) Odds Mike Singletary becomes the token Rooney Rule interview, 2:1?
10) How much does this decrease the Chargers chances of winning the Championship next year? While some may point to the fact that Marty never wins a postseason game, he typically gets there. Will this team with a complete new staff from top to bottom will they be anywhere near as good as the 14-2 team they were last season? They still have the talent, but will the system fit. How much does their Vegas Odds go down this week?
