The San Diego Chargers are 1-2, and new head coach Norv Turner is taking most of the heat for the lousy start.

"Norv, Norv! Please tell the fans of Chargersville that this woeful start is not the beginning of a painfully long and disappointing season," writes James C. Black of Yahoo! Sports in a Sept. 24 article. "You'll get some benefit of the doubt given the tough schedule, but that excuse will only go so far. Especially when all-everything MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is getting bottled up more than a six-pack and his release comes in the form of exploding on quarterback Philip Rivers. This doesn't look good for a team that was deemed as the league's most talented and one possessing a head coach who perhaps is the 'best offensive play caller in the game.'"

Welcome aboard, Simba! Yeah, this is getting ridiculous. This shouldn't be a 1-3 team, and the only thing you CAN point at is the coaching change.

Who are they goanna replace him with? Ray Handley?

Seriously though, it's really hard to change coaches in the middle of the year in the NFL. Too many complicated system changes. So unless they can get Bill Parcells to get out of that chair at ESPN, they'll probably let Turner finish the year.

Ouch, low blow mentioning Handley. I agree that Turner gets all of this year, and unless things change drastically, only this year. But then who do they go after. Someone from the college ranks? A hot coordinator? A retread?

PARCELLS. He's probably pissed he left Dallas.
