Amen.
This is the guy who was deemed "An offensive Genius" for winning with a team comprised of Troy Aikman, Emmit Smith and Michael Irving.
A friend of mine use to laugh at the "offensive genius" moniker. To paraphrase him "how can you be an offensive genius when you lose to Arizona EVERY TIME YOU PLAY THEM". lol.

GIANTS??? although if they keep playing like they did last night...maybe ole tommy keeps his job for 1 more year...haha
What? A crazy must have it his way dictator for another crazy must have it his way dictator? Granted Marty is more well liked in the NFL, but he's not going to a place that already hates their coach...if he does, he's a complete moron.

You're right....not a good fit at all. Hell if the Chargers continue to suck, maybe they'll fire Norv and bring him back!!!

norv was the correct replacement for wade phillips, not marty Schottenheimer. With all those talented guys they need a disciplinarian, Marty was that.....just wait until merriman beats some guy to death in a bar after a loss

In the NFL, you get the opportunity to learn from other people's mistakes. Why would they hire Norv? If you want to know if he can motivate your players, just watch his after game press conferences every time he's been a headcoach. I wanted to quit, and I wasnt even a player. He's boring, he doesnt instill confidence. Even the coaches I hate in this league do that to some point.
It's called eye contact Norv. Try it when addressing reporters you scared little girl.
And then he's been labeled an offensive genius. He must be an idiot savant. He should focus more on his strengths, quarterbacks. Let someone with a spine manage the team.

No 70Chip.....
It's more like the joint stunk up the joint.......:Smoker:
Then there was poor norv? Getting ready for his next J.O.B.
Damn norv does really well at the offensive cordinator job, but when it comes to head coach material....can't get it done!

I'd hire him as a QB coach in a second! He would do wonders for Campbell!

Marty had the #8 ranked defense that year.
While he did have Banks, we got a (at the time) Redskins record 1432 yards out of Stephen Davis.
In fact, the team is similar to what we have now. A strong D, and a Weak O. Strong running game, and a weak passing game.
Schottenhiemer had no real talent on offense (minus Davis), while Gibbs has a ton of talent he isn't taking advantage of. I fully think Schottenhiemer did a great job with what he had, problem was, Bruce Smith and more importantly, Darryl Green hated him. Green is an icon to us. He can do no wrong and when he came out publicly and said he doesn't like the way schott. was doing things, something totally uncharacteristic of Green...that sealed Marty's fate. Also, losing 5 out of the gate hurt, but then he won 5 straight, that helped. But then he lost 3 of 4 and the Skins were not in the playoff picture anymore hurt a little too. But mainly it was the players that did him in...and more importantly, Marty's wierd rules and inability to be flexible that killed him here. The SKins were smart to cut him loose, just as the Giants would be smart to cut Coughlin loose.
