San Diego Chargers Chairman of the Board & President Dean Spanos today officially ended speculation and confirmed that General Manager A.J. Smith and Head Coach Norv Turner will return in 2012. “Bottom line, I believe these two men give us the best chance to get back to the playoffs,” Spanos said. “A.J. Smith is the best man to improve our roster, and Norv Turner is the best man to lead that roster on the field. “Together, we have stability and experience that’s hard to find in the NFL. They’ve both been in this league a long time. I don’t think there is anything they haven’t seen or experienced. They’ve led us through some difficult situations. “As we’ve seen throughout Norv’s tenure and particularly this past season, the players believe in him, respect him and play hard for him. When we went through that tough stretch, no one quit. The team kept playing hard, and that’s a tribute to Norv’s leadership and the respect the players have for him. “Now we will take a hard look at everything, from player evaluation to coaching to the rash of injuries we’ve suffered in recent years. Injuries have killed us. And no one is ever perfect in this business. Player evaluation isn’t an exact science. We need to improve across the board and I’m going to make sure we do. “We all have our quirks and faults, but I want A.J. and Norv on my side. They are the right men to help us win a championship.”
not sure how true this is but i heard the chargers were going after andy reid til jeff lurrie called them and told him he wont be fired. is that why norv and andy werent fired? who knows? lol
all i can say is this is some bullshaiiiiiiit, Dean Spanos has ZERO balls, since his daddy left him the team he is 3-3 in bad decisions, 1) firing Bobby Ross, 2) firing Marty shott and 3rd) keeping these two clowns, im sorry but im not renewing my tickets this year..... why cant we have a respectful owner and not some CHUMP with his daddys money...
