Our owners are either cheap or dumb. Doesn’t really matter which as results are the same.

But it stills proves the same point: the only successful coaching hires the Spanos family have made were previously experienced HCs (Ross at the college level).
I remember teddy cotrel being canned fairly quickly( after 2.5 games or so?) after the defense had lost a major step with the loss of wade Philips. Rivera was hired as DC.
At least back then they tried to fix some things mid season since the standards were higher after the 14-2 season. Nowadays they wait years

Of course he does. He’s Telesco’s direct boss.
Also, John started his football career in the scouting department where he eventually became the head of the department, so all the draft picks since Butler and AJ’s run have been influenced by him.
After he screwed up scouting his daddy promoted him to screw up the rest of the team from GM to coaches and all player decisions.
That’s where the buck stops.

I truly think he has zero business skills... none
He lacks common sense, he lacks PR skills, he looks like he is clueless. He seems obtuse and dense

Not to be fair whatsoever!!! Norv inherited a Lambo and eventually turned into a pinto and then drove it right into a wall. Norv was garbage!!!

This is not true. Norv didn't make personnel decisions - AJ did. AJ started whittling away the talent from the moment Norv arrived. The first thing AJ did was get into pissing match with Donnie Edwards and let him walk, and going with Matt "Whiffhelm" in 2007. I'm not a fan of Norv particularly, but I am a fan of the facts. And the fact is the talent crumbled around Norv each season and it was AJ's doing.
I would guess Norv got the Chargers to cough up a 2nd for Chris Chambers: Norv previously coached him in Miami.
Norv starting off losing in San Diego and probably told Smith that he lacks the receivers to make his offense go.
It's hard for a head coach not to give input in the draft process.

Ahh yes the good old days where losing in the playoffs was the major problem. But we made it often. Now we cant even get there. I used to think that Norv had early success with the Bolts as HC because he was taking over extremely well coached Marty players.
This is why i wish we could sign free agents....but have them practice with their former teams....and then just fly in for games. This way we dont ruin them.
