There’s something to be said for that, but I think the right coach can change the culture in a team and instill a winning mentality, even in a city where that is not as easy. I saw the “Football Life” about Don Shula, and it appeared that he did that in Miami. Miami teams, before Shula and to some extent now, play a little bit laid back. Shula came there from the Colts and was hard as nails. Worked the hell out of them. Made them tough and they started winning. San Diego needs someone like that, who demands so much that they forget about the beach. Schottenheimer wasn’t bad, he got a little too conservative in the playoffs is all. No one else has been the kind of coach a football team in this town needs. Life is too good.
Barring a miracle, today was the last game ever of the San Diego Chargers.
