So, does Marty lose his job over this one? Probably. Does he deserve to lose his job? No. All of the talk this morning surrounds his 5-13 record in the Playoffs. He's too uptight, he out coaches himself, etc. I think a big part of the problem is the fact the he is a great motivator. During the regular season, he is able to motivate his teams to play at a little higher level. They win all of the games that they are supposed to win and sneak by with a couple that they shouldn't have won. The Denver and Cinci games come to mind. Both teams decided to have a meltdown when playing the Chargers. Once you get to the Playoffs, motivation alone won't win any games. Every team has stepped up their game. San Diego looked average because they are average.
They'll fire Marty and either promote Cam Cameron or they'll find some other "hot" prospect. The first place schedule and the coaching change will leave San Diego at 7-9 next year.
