Chargers to hire...


Recommended Posts

Chargers to hire Mike Singletary? I heard they are really high on him and his interview went extremely well. I think this guy could be a great Head Coach. If you watched Senior Bowl practices when he was "Miked up" you would know. I hope he gets it. This is the guy I wanted for D Cordinator! AHH :angry:

I heard somewhere that the Chargers were all set with P. Carroll but they were keeping under wraps until they interviewed more candidates.

I don't believe it, it doesn't surprise me.

CARROLL SAYS HE'S STAYING PUT

USC coach Pete Carroll reportedly had communications this week with the San Diego Chargers, who fired head coach Marty Schottenheimer on Monday.

But Carroll also says that he's staying put at USC.

Carroll raised eyebrows on Tuesday when he refused to comment on the situation. The no-comment route prompted us (and others) to conclude that he had learned something from the Nick "I'm Not Going To Be The Alabama Coach" Saban fiasco, and that if Carroll couldn't truly say he's not going to be the Chargers coach, then he would say nothing at all.

But on Thursday Carroll explained the reason for his decision not to talk: "I just got tired of answering questions about the NFL, because there's always a follow-up question from [the media], no matter what I say, so I decided I wouldn't say anything, I wasn't looking at it. I like where I'm at. I'm not going anywhere."

Okay, folks. There it is. Carroll essentially has said he's not going to be the Chargers coach.

And as much as we'd love to see our theory regarding the situation come to fruition, we're inclined to believe him.

With that said, we think that Carroll was a candidate for the job when he said "no comment" on Tuesday, and that in the intervening 48 hours a decision was made, by him or by the team, not to pursue it any further.
