I think it's fair to say that there was pretty much universal shock when he was offered the Chargers' position, and not just a few people rationalized it as being AJ Smith's way of sticking it to Marty just a little bit more (Marty not only succeeded Norv in Washington in 2001, but he was also given the head coaching job in San Diego in 2002 after Norv served as the Chargers' offensive coordinator the year before). Of course, one would think Smith is too smart a guy to have hired a coach solely for spite, but there is also little doubt that the acrimony that had developed between him and Marty reached a level uncommon even in the high-pressured NFL FO world.
