. The Chargers are getting what they paid for

The San Diego Chargers already have lost as many games through three weeks of the 2007 season as they dropped during the entire 2006 campaign.

Is it a surprise? Not really. By firing coach Marty Schottenheimer in February and replacing him with Norv Turner, it should have been obvious the Chargers were due for a downswing. Turner, after all, is the poster child for the Peter Principle in the NFL, rising over and over again to the level of his own incompetence. He's a great offensive coordinator -- and a bad head coach. And after every stint as a great offensive coordinator, someone else gives him a chance to be a bad head coach.

Somewhere, Dr. Laurence Peter is laughing his ass off.

In 1994, the Redskins didn't know any better. They were simply following the "good coordinator makes for a good head coach" formula, though they might have been a little wary after the Richie Petitbon debacle. The Raiders should have learned from the Redskins' experiences with Turner, and the Chargers had more than enough evidence on which to base a decision not to give Turner another chance.

And yet they did. So, by winning the long-term power struggle with Schottenheimer, it appears G.M. A.J. Smith finally has risen to the level of his own incompetence, too.
