The San Diego Chargers have received permission to interview four current NFL assistants as they search for Marty Schottenheimer's replacement as the team's head coach. Those four are Norv Turner and Mike Singletary of the 49ers, Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera and Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan. So, which of these four is the most likely to get the job?

Rex Ryan would be an interesting choice. I know many Giant fans were hoping he would come over as a coordinator.

Rex Ryan interviews for Chargers' job
San Jose Mercury News, CA - 11 hours ago
SAN DIEGO - Flashing a Super Bowl ring, which is a strange sight around here, Rex Ryan spoke about how he'd love to win an NFL championship with the San Diego Chargers.

"That would be something that we'd be targeting. We'd like to get several of those," Ryan said after emerging from his interview with Chargers executives on Thursday.

Ryan is the son of former NFL head coach Buddy Ryan, who was the defensive coordinator when the 1985 Chicago Bears won the Super Bowl.

Rex Ryan earned his Super Bowl ring as defensive line coach of the Baltimore Ravens in 2000. He just completed his second year as the Ravens' defensive coordinator.

49ers' Turner interviews for San Diego's vacancy
Contra Costa Times, CA - Feb 14, 2007
Norv Turner, the 49ers offensive coordinator, and Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan interviewed for the vacant San Diego Chargers coaching job Thursday.

Twice fired as an NFL head coach, Turner was San Diego's offensive coordinator in 2001. After Mike Riley was fired as coach, Turner interviewed for the job that went to Marty Schottenheimer.

"For me to want to be a head coach, it needed to be a real unique situation, and to me this is a unique situation in terms of I've coached here, I know a lot of the people involved and for me, it's an outstanding football team," said Turner, who was 58-82-1 in head coaching stints with Washington and the Raiders. "I've been in a couple of situations that were not maybe ideal in terms of the way I perceived them."

Turner recently interviewed for Dallas' head coaching job that went to Wade Phillips, who was San Diego's defensive coordinator.

The Chargers were 35-13 the last three seasons, winning two AFC West titles.

"Obviously it's been a very well-coached team, but there are a lot of players on this football team that will be a lot better players two and three years from now than they are right now," Turner said.
