(AP Photo/Stephen J. Boitano, FIle)Marty Schottenheimerโs NFL coaching career was as remarkable as it was flummoxing. โI never went into a game with Marty as coach feeling like I wasnโt fully prepared to win. Kurt Schottenheimer had been on his brotherโs previous staffs, and Marty Schottenheimerโs son, Brian, had been Chargers quarterbacks coach from 2002-05. โIf you look up football coach in the dictionary, it should have a picture of Marty Schottenheimer,โ Brees said. Brian Schottenheimer was fired as Seattleโs offensive coordinator last month and then hired by new Jacksonville coach Urban Meyer as passing game coordinator-quarterbacks coach.

Lynn led the franchise to the playoffs in 2018 but Los Angeles had losing records the last two seasons. Hired by the Chargers in January 2017, Lynn was the first Black head coach in franchise history and had one year remaining on his contract.
