Chargers fate was sealed with the Marty mistake
I knew from day 1 of the hiring of Norv Turner that SanDiego's chance of stardom was vanished into thin air Who is Norv Turner?
I will tell you who Norv Turner is: He is and was and always will be an unsuccessful HEAD coach. Norv is a great coordinator and nothing more and now that the window is closed for their Superbowl run I can only say shame on you Chargers orginization.
Bottom line Chargers ORG. biggest mistake since their short time of existence was to let Marty Schottenheimer go because he is the greatest and most successful Head-coach bar none not to win a Superbowl ever! Marty's one and only problem was his everlasting curse of bad luck which has shown it's ugly head consistently through his career as a Head coach at the most inconvenient times. Poor Marty I can honestly say a man of this statute and greatness does not deserve this curse to any degree. Marty single-handedly resurrected three NFL franchises from the depths of hell to make them winning organizations in record breaking time and they were SanDiego,KanasCity,and Cleveland.
First Sandiego: he is the reason for the Chargers even having a chance to get to the big one because of the depth he built in this team in the short time he was here and now the connections of Marty are starting to fade rapidly along with the window of opportunity of the Superbowl.
Kansas City: Marty also built this team from the ground up all in a very short period of time and handed the keys over to a winning Head coach Dick Vermeil who already had 2 experiences with the Superbowl under his belt 1 in which he won and 1 that he lost. We all witnessed what happened to the Chiefs after Marty left. Yes the Chiefs basically deconstructed as fast as they were constructed by the great Marty Schottenheimer.
Cleveland this is where Marty I truly believe inherited his dreadful run of cursed bad luck which brings me to oh I would say about 22 years ago I was watching a fairly new game show called Jeopardy and I can picture this vividly. Alex Trebec hurling out the words name this city otherwise (known as HELLTOWN) the question was and I will never forget this for as long as I live because I was a student in downtown Cleveland at the time living and witnessing what this city was all about. This contestant mumbling the words in doubt I might add (what is CLEVELAND!) then without hesitation Alex saying in a commanding voice (THAT IS CORRECT) there is so much truth to this accusation I could write a book trying to explain it all but you will just have to take my word for it trust me it is a HELLTOWN!! for many reasons.
Can you now see why I believe that this is where Marty became cursed?? yes yes yes yes yes yes YES!!!
Marty came to the most unsuccessful in all aspects of life in general the city of Cleveland to make a very unsuccessful franchise in the Superbowl era the Browns organization successful in the worst possible depressed oozing with negativity circumstance in the NFL and Holy Shit he did it!! To me this body of work was without a doubt in my mind greater than winning a Superbowl but the problem is the price he had to pay which was picking up the lifelong curse handed out by Cleveland. Marty was never able to break free from this stranglehold to this very day.
The curse of Bad luck was the only factor keeping all three of these franchises from being Superbowl champions or at least in the great dance. Yes Marty's Coaching days passed him by with unfulfilled Superbowl succession only because of his loss of ability to relate with his players but he should of been promoted to a higher position to where he would have not been seen but heard such as a great Wizard behind the curtain controlling the team through other willing participants.This my friends would have been without question the Chargers organization's greatest chance for stardom.
One of Marty's students Bill Cowher who was able to lift his head out of this dreadful curse of big game failure. This curse was so strong it Actually took Bill 15 years to Defeat this disease of loss WOW! Now that is a solid curse that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I think Bill was able to pull himself from this ugly grip of death because of The success of the Rooney family which is proven to withstand all test of time. You see the only way possible to get rid of the monkey on your back demoralizing will draining negative to the fullest extent curse of bad luck is to have a force on your side that is greater than the one you are trying to defeat which in Coach Cowher's case the astronomical success of the Rooney family which was the silver bullet that finally destroyed the Marty curse once and for all.
If you do not think this is true why was Coach Tomlin able to win the Superbowl in only his second season as a Headcoach
Long story short If I owned the Chargers organization I would book the first flight to Pittsburgh to schedule a meeting with the Rooney family and express myself on how I believe that the Rooney's are the sole reason for the over abundance of suceess that the Pittsburgh Steelers organization has had as a whole and learn from the great ones on how I could through time become just or partially as successful as the Steeler ORG. I would be light years ahead of where I'm at in this moment of time with my Chargers. if I only could swallow my worthless pride to take this first step
