I believe. I really do. I'm going to put on my powder-blue Junior Seau jersey, grab some Chargers pom-poms and march down the street.
“Bottom line, I believe these two men give us the best chance to get back to the playoffs, "(Chargers Chairman of the Board & President Dean) Spanos said. “A.J. Smith is the best man to improve our roster, and Norv Turner is the best man to lead that roster on the field. Together, we have stability and experience that’s hard to find in the NFL. They’ve both been in this league a long time. I don’t think there is anything they haven’t seen or experienced. They’ve led us through some difficult situations."And the numbers don't lie:
"During Smith’s nine-year tenure as general manager (2003-11), the Chargers have won 88 games and five AFC West titles. Only three teams (New England, Indianapolis and Pittsburgh) have won more games or division titles during that time."Preach it, brother! I have the faith of 1,000 men! Surely Smith will never again pass on stars to draft guys who have accounted for nothing or limit his free-agent signings to guys who everyone (except seemingly him) knows won't make it through the season because he never does!
"Since Turner took over as head coach, he has earned an impressive 52-34 overall record (including 3-3 in the postseason), the highest overall winning percentage in franchise history (.605)."
And Norv, no doubt, has after several years finally discovered the magic elixir to install proper discipline in his team so they don't lose games left and right due to their own mistakes! I believe!
Clearly, that's the case, right? Otherwise, bringing both guys back just seems ... kind of dumb.
