It's official: Turner, Smith are out

Blah, blah, blah, the owners all say the same thing, what they mean is "What have you done for me lately and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out."

This is true for most any profession.

Good point Sarge

Turner will get a job as an OC somewhere. Smith, not so much.

San Diego is a choice job for somebody. They won't have a problem finding a top line coach. A good GM...that's another story.

The more NFL coaches get fired, the more Jon Gruden's ego will get fed.

The Chargers are hiring Ron Wolf to advise in the search for a new GM.

That's not a bad place to start.

Unfortunately the answer to that question was of late "Not much or less".

If he lands in Dallas, he could possibly help that offense with some much needed consistency.

They gave this guy much more of a chance than he should have been given. They should have cut him loose 2 years ago

Or in NY. He runs the offense, Rex runs the D. Of course the Jets have no offense so....

Chargers fans rejoice!!!

choice job? maybe for the weather. That team sucks. Until the media starts to acknowledge Phillip Rivers instead of ignoring his mediocrity and poor throwing choice...things won't change. he's like a tony romo...but worse. why does he fly under the radar EVERY SINGLE SEASON.

I would love to see Smith as the DC in New Orleans.

Agree, for the most part. Any time you have a quality NFL QB such as Rivers - who is probably about 12th to 15th on the NFL's list of top QBs - the job is more appealing.

Here is an interesting thought. Trade Rivers to the Jets for Sanchez and a draft pick. Then, leave the D to Rex and bring in a new OC to help Rivers.

Sanchez is the David Carr of the current QB group. Don't want him.
