N/S SNF: Chiefs @ Chargers (1 Viewer)

Spagnoulo still doin' it. Seems like he may have been sabotaged here by the cronies.
 
It wasn't even his fault. A safety intercepted a 4th down pass by brady. Instead of kneeling down,he ran and
fumbled it back to NE. What's bad is marty mention that scenario in pregame.
The only reason why S.D. fired Marty, one month after the season, mind you, was according to the owner Dean Spanos, was due to their talented, first-rate coaching staff which had Wade Phillips at DC. Philips left to become Cowboys HC and Spanos werent expecting to lose a few other top-rated assistant coaches, some key contributing players and of course, since Marty was expendable and his feud with A.J. Smith made Chargers FO a living nightmare, Spanos chose his younger, smarter GM over his forelorned, terrible sheetty postseason HOF HC.

Lets not feel too sorry or bad for Marty Ball in the larger context. He had a lifetime full of opportunities, twice in Cleveland, numerous times in Kansas City, and twice in San Diego. He was the HC if you had a good team who could be led to 11-5, 12-4 regular-seasons, Marty was great at that, he was sort of Andy Reid before Reid except he never had that transcendent QB/MVP superhuman talent in Mahomes that could offset his mistakes or bewilderingly on-field decisions.

Marty Schottenheimer had been blowing late, close winnable post-season games for 20 years before his Chargers superteam choked in 2006.
