I totally agree with you.
The guy showed a lot of strides this season but the team fell apart in the playoff game, as usual.

would you rather go 14-2 and not go to the Superbowl, or go 2-14 and not go to the Superbowl? because the Chargers aren't all that many years removed from averaging 2 wins a season. and I don't see anyone out there whose going to step in and do a better job. the AFC just happens to be a nasty conference. if the Chargers were in the NFC, they would have breezed through the playoffs. I just don't see the logic of firing him, especially since it was Rivers' first year as starter. I would've given him at least 2 or 3 years with Rivers as starter.

how do you think he got in the nfl from stanford? it was his offensive coaching abilities, it sure wasnt his defense. look at when he was with the vikings we had one of the best and most electric and exciting offenses in nfl history.
he couldnt do anything in arizona because other than their top 5 players the rest of the team is not very good and didnt have a qb until they started playing leinart and funny they started to win a few games.
in all seriousness this is a very probable and would be prolly one of the better options for them in the short term with not many proven coaches remaining.

And couldn't even beat the Atlanta Falcons coached by Dan Reeves (no master of post-season play himself) in the NFC championship game after going 15-1 . . . oh yea, Green's a dream NFL headcoach.
He's like Norv Turner . . . should stick to being a coordinator and leave headcoaching to those who can handle it.
And those of you touting Gruden as a great coach, let's examine the facts . . . Dungy builds team (Including going 9-7 his last year), Gruden takes over in 2002 and wins Super Bowl . . . four years since now that he's had time to put his stamp on the team: 27-37. Yep, Hall of Fame for sure that Gruden.

PAAAAHLEASE!!! Gruden took a 4 - 12 team to 8 - 8 then to 12 - 4 to the conference Championship the following year 10 - 6 to the divisional playoffs... yes he did inherit a team that but the team he inherited was 9 - 7 ... he tuned that team to 12 - 4 and Super Bowl Champions... he has had it rough as of late with QB, Reciever and an aging defense...

not his problem anderson goes perfect all throughout the year and decides to miss his one and only, just happening to be the biggest miss of his career.
listen im not saying is the greatest coach and not even that he is a good coach, all im saying is that he is prolly one of the better options available at the moment since most good coaches are already signed for respective programs and schools.
there is a reason why the coaches who are not head coaches yet are in the position they are, how many job openings has there been in the last 2 years?
but ya if any of you would like to trade head coaches i would more than willing to drive childress myself to your respective cities

don't take this the wrong way, but in my lifetime, I've never seen a Viking offense that I'd classify as one of the most electric and exciting in nfl history. what years are talking about specifically?? maybe they should hire D---I---C---K Vermeel. now HE put together an offense that I'd rank up there with the greats (the Superbowl winning Rams team).
