Crap, Not Again
Update: 1:57pm – Matt Maiocco is reporting the Chargers requested permission Tuesday to interview both offensive coordinator Norv Turner and assistant head coach/defense Mike Singletary for their vacant head-coaching position.
———-
The San Diego Chargers have fired head coach Marty Schottenheimer and with that the speculation on which, if not all of the 49ers top coaches will interview for the Chargers vacancy, has begun. John Clayton has already mentioned that Turner may be a candidate (Turner was in San Diego for a year and he and A.J. Smith are apparently really close) and we can’t forget Mike Singletary and even Greg Manusky whose names will most likely get thrown around. The Chargers, however, will most likely go for a veteran coach coming off a 14-2 season. So now we just sit and wait to see which coach they come calling for.

Lions give Dre Bly permission to seek trade. With a cap total of 4.2 mil. for 07. Is a good man to man cover corner. But now does not fit the Tampa 2 scheme
Greg…Manusky was a LB coach and he got promoted to a DC. Permission is very seldom denied to a coach with an opportunity to make a step up.
You’d think that Norv would want to stick around because in the next few years this team could be Superbowl bound and prehaps become the FIRST team to win six titles. That’s gotta be worth something? Beside, Norv has to have some creditability and some sense of values to just say “NO” and stick to a team that really wants you!! My two cents
Well, if I was Norv, I’d go to San Diego. They’re not gonna offer him the job though.
I have never been interviewed for a head coaching position, but at some point why doesn’t Norv just say NO THANKS? It is a politeness and respect thing? Does he actually want to leave? I think my comments are along the lines of Ninerfan81. But, imagine if you kept interviewing for other jobs and your boss and co-workers knew. At some I am guessing your boss would send you right out the front door. Must be “nice” to be in the NFL.
well both jobs that he’s interviewed for have been for teams loaded with talent on both sides of the ball. I can’t say I blame the guy. Anyone who loves to coach aspires to be successful at the highest level, which would be the head coach of a SuperBowl team. The Dallas job intrigued him because of his ties to the franchise. Now he interviews for a chance to run an offense with LaDainian Tomlinson, Antonio Gates, Phillip Rivers, Vincent Jackson, a solid o-line, and Lorenzo Neal. And on defense you have guys like Merriman, Phillips, Williams, Olshansky, and Castillo. Can you seriously blame Turner or Singletary?
To me this has Ron Rivera written all over it. He has Super Bowl experience, runs the best defense in the league (which is what lost the Chargers the Indy game). Either that or the DC at Baltimore. Honestly, any coach could run this offense, but you need the right guy to give the finishing touches to the defense. Honestly, I don´t know how Dallas missed out on Rivera.
Check this out. I think this has been a done deal from the start. Noboday fires a headcoach this late after the season is over without having a backup plan.
There is reportedly “increasing talk in league circles” that the Chargers have a secret deal with USC’s Pete Carroll to be their next head coach.
Profootballtalk.com suggests that Ron Rivera and Mike Singletary’s interviews are simply to satisfy the Rooney Rule before Carroll is named. Carroll wouldn’t comment about the job through a spokesman Tuesday.
Bly from the lions is gonna get traded. Go to espn.com, to bad he is 5 9″ because with the cards WRs 5 9″ isnt going to be a good match up.
ERICKSON????? I’m at work and bored…. we’ve had almost 60 reply’s…I want another info article please…..lol
Dre Bly has been told he can seek a trade…. nice fit
Jimmy Johnson also wanted by S.D
SEND KWAME AND A FOURTH ROUNDER OR TWO FOURTH ROUNDERS… BUT THEN AGAIN HIS CONTRACT IS UP AT THE END OF 2007
WHAT HAPPENED TO CHARLIE ROGERS DOES ANYBODY KNOW I WOULDNT MIND GIVING HIM A SHOT TOO
man this shit again what do u guys think is norv gone or staying shit man shit!!!!
Charles Rogers got cut, worked out for the Dolphins, but they didn’t sign him. I don’t know if he’s gonna try to make another team, but he wasn’t exactly a work-a-holic. Same deal with Mike Williams. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Lions release or trade him, with having Roy Williams, Mike Furrey, and probably going after Kevin Curtis in free agency. Williams is a guy I’d like to see the Niners take a shot at. He might thrive in the environment of our team. With Jerry Sullivan’s coaching, and Johnny Parker’s conditioning, he could be a star in SF. Just a dream right now though.
Big M…what do you think the chances are that Norv is leaving??
who the hell is reshaun woods?,everyone’s always looking at me the kitnanator.yeah,lazer rocket arm,you know.man the niners suck,smith should be more like me,a badass gunslinger.Im old but I still kick ass.yeah we beat dallas.I did mostly with my lazer rocket arm,there’s no way they’re going to pick brady quinn when they got me!don’t be suprised if we go 16-0 next year.well gotta go,me and re are going to a stripp club.peace.
ha the 49ers are a joke,im glad I didn’t get drafted by you guys,cause Im in greenbay right now with you know who yep brett favre.im glad he is coming back next year.me and him have so much fun,sometimes he let’s me come over and we play catch,but then he gets to excited and I have to change his diaper.but it’s all good.brett is way better than joe montana,or steve young ever thaught about being.how many suprbowls did they win?yeah brett won a couple or two.he’s my hero and alex smith sucks.if any of you disagree with me please feel free to contact my website http://www.aaronandbrett4ever@yahoo.com
any new news Erickson. seems we got the packers the lions the bears and the chargers on this site.the only team we are missing from the nfc north is the vikings.
Congratulations on the title! To answer your question, the best keeper has to be Gore, who has a slight edge over Westbrook at the running back position. Gore led the NFC with 1,695 rushing yards, caught 61 passes for 485 yards and found the end zone nine times. While reports indicate that offensive coordinator Norv Turner could now be in line to replace Marty Schottenheimer as the head coach in San Diego, Niners head coach Mike Nolan told me in a recent interview that the offense will remain the same with or without Turner on the staff. As a result, Gore should continue to be the team’s offensive centerpiece and wouldn’t lose value if Turner did in fact leave to become the Chargers’ head coach.
from NFL.com
it seems like we got a tough season next year we got to play the AFC north teams like pitsburg,baltimore bengal and browns all that are commited to stoping the run. then we got teams like the panthers, falcons,saints and bucks.i dont see frank gore surviving twenty two hundred yards.it we be hard just to get threw the season injury free.hope trent dilfer is ready to play a little next year if smith gets hurt.
that was from nfl.com we shouldn’t worry about frank gore, we should worry about alex smith if turner leaves.
Okay so here’s the update and it’s starting to come together the way we (Niner Fans) are hoping. See my earlier post under (Newbie) regarding “A.J. Smith being fired”
Now comes this report from Adam Schefter of the NFL Network:
The NFL Network reports the Chargers may part ways with general manager A.J. Smith after April’s draft.
Of course they’d keep Smith around for his specialty: picking talent. Profootballtalk.com has speculated the same, giving credence to its prediction that USC’s Pete Carroll will become San Diego’s next coach, and bring Pat Kirwan, who currently works for the NFL, along with him.
Source: Profootballtalk.com
The reason for the firing is simple, Pete Carroll wants total control and to bring in his own personnel. Carroll is dealing with the Team President and NOT A.J. Smith. Carroll wants out of USC because of the investigatin regarding questionable conduct to recruit talent to USC. Including last year’s Heismen winner, Reggie Bush.
Don’t worry…Novr’s not going anywhere!
if gore gets hurt we are screwed.we dont have a good back up we got mike robinson who is still learning the position and a speed back in hicks. we need a runingback in the draft or a free agent this season.and a back up quarterback under 29.
Sorry, 2005 Eeismen Trophy winner, Reggie Bush
if we should go with a running back,adrian peterson.we should draft jordan palmer(carsons lil bro)from UTEP,I believe nolan worked with him in the senior bowl.we should draft a quarterback anyways because dilfer is old,and he is really there to teach alex smith.so we should draft jordan palmer in the third round.
im not even sweating it, I know norv is not leaving.he shouldn’t.let’s just all hope nobody else fires their head coach,so we have to hear turners name.
i think we should get a power back to back up gore.i was watching on espn sports center on the fullback/runingback from ruckers or someone we should draft someone in the third round like moss from miami.but they might get someone in free agentcy.and i like quarterback john beck out of byu in the mid rounds.and a couple mock drafts have us selecting alan branch or patrick willis in the first round of the draft
i ignored all the talk about the chargers today.sick of all the B.S. lol….
i didnt think norv stood a chance, but then i heard him named by one source (either nfl live or nfl network- i cant remember) as the front runner. however, i heard another report saying they want a defensive guy, and that they want a young first time guy. theres also the reports of the pete carrol thing. i think the best choice right now would be rex ryan out of the named candidates. look at what he did in baltimore with their linebacking corps. he could do something special in san diego. we’ll see though.
trade kwame harris to the redskins for a third round pick.lmao
terdell sands just signed a new deal with the raider.we another canidate for our wish list now!!
some one mentioned charles rogers he doesnt have the desire or will to get better.plus charictor isues.
we need another canidate for our wish list i ment…..
dam i wish i was mike singletary he has been on a world tour the last couple of years.baltimore atlanta,texas and califonia 2xs.maybe next year washington, new york giants,tennesse titans and maybe cleveland or back to baltimore if bill billick screws up.
its 2am in jersey and just seen vernon davis on nfl network and he said to the fans to watch out for next year cause were gonna be back and nfl network said that 49ers can be one of the teams who could end up being next years saints along with tennessee and arizona and buffalo.
Im gettin tired of Norv Turner either he wants to stay with us or not stop playing games. I know the chargers job is great but maybe he should finish what he started here. He keeps saying he wants to stay with us but when ever someone fires there coach what name do you here Norv Turner. Why cant he tell the chargers no im staying with the niners. Whats next the arena team in San Jose will need a coach and of course they will want Norv Turner. NORV PLEASE MAKEUP UR MIND ALREADY STOP DICKING AROUND WITH THE 49ERS ARE U NICK SABEAN #2
If anyone watched nfl network last night they were saying norv is a great fit for the san diego job.but,they did also say that the 49ers might be the new orleans saints of last year,they also picked arizona,but I don’t see tht happening.they mentioned the “triplets” thing with smith,vernon,and frank.last time we saw a triple threat like this it was oh yeah troy aikman,micheal irvin,and that other guy emmit smith.and guess who their offensive coordinator was….I’ll give you a hint it wasn’t rex ryan,wade phillips,gary gibbs,or mike singletary.so we got some good news and bad,oh yeah vernon was on there and he said watch out for next year.
if the giants need a new manager they will probably contact norv turner.
they also said that the niners are on their way and that we shouldn’t worry about defense because mike singletary and mike nolan will work it out.he also said Rollin wit noaln.
ERICKSON JUST GET TI OFF YOUTUBE SO I DON’T HAVE TO TELL ALL YOU GUYS.
RON, i just mentioned all of what you said all ready,look above a E.T.D. NAME.
