A.J.Smith let the talent on that team deteriorate. He let a lot of good players walk, and didn't seem to have a way to replace them. For example, they let Michael Turner, Ladanian Tomlinson, and Darren Sproles pretty much leave in successive seasons, and he trades up after the last one left for Ryan Matthews. Than after Matthews can't do much in his first two years, he let's Mike Tolbert leave. I think Norv is a bit flimsy as a head coach, but it's tough to get offensive production when your team is bleeding talent profusely like the Chargers did. IMO after Smith fired Schottenheimer, the Chargers never really added much talent after that, and let a lot get away.
I hope they hire the soon to be departed Scott Pioli as GM. That way he'll clash with everyone, hire bad coaches, and get rid of Rivers,
