I'll bet San Diego fans in the 1980s were bitching and moaning that the Chargers let go of their hotshot young offensive coordinator

If snyder wanted him to be the head coach, he woulda made sure he got him. Marvin was looking for a head coaching position, snyder wanted spurrier cause he was blinded by his love of the old ball coach, but the real coaching talent was right under his nose....he shoulda promoted ML to head coach.

The whole NFL was in love with OBC, that's why he got such good money.

Promoted him when? In case you've forgotten, between the 2001 and 2002 season the Tampa Bay Bucs offered Steve Spurrier the head coaching job. He took our job when we gave him more money. They went after and offered the job to Marvin Lewis, but the owners and the general manager disagreed on whether another defensive minded coach after Dungy was right, so he was out too. So then the Redskins scooped him up. Lewis had a solid year with us and got his well deserved opportunity to be a head coach.
