Coaching Change Late But Necessary

Hello. Congrats to the San Diego Chargers for finally pulling the plug on their head coach, Marty Schottenheimer. While I have nothing personally against Marty, and I hope his remaining years are productive, it was the right thing to do.
The San Diego Chargers were the best team this year, and didn't win a playoff game. In fact they were one of the best teams last year, and didn't make the playoffs. They had all-pros on all sides of the ball. They had 4 coaches who have now been promoted in other organizations. The only weakness that seemed to be costing them was head coach. Marty has a 5-13 career playoff record. It was time. In fact it was past time.
As Don Banks points out on si.com, the Chargers hurt themselves by not doing this last month. Now a lot of top candidates, including their own coaches, have gone elsewhere. There's not much time for a new man to get up to speed.
So who will take over the reins? I'd love to see it be Mike Singletary. He may bring the Chargers the winning attitude they need to get to the next level. Singletary always impressed me with his business like approach and intensity. The combination he had as a player made him the best. If he can do that as a coach, he's got it made.
Good luck San Diego, and congrats again on doing what you had to do. It's the mark of a championship organization.

Regards,
Steve
