Chargers to Try to Hire Carroll?
excerpt:
Some executives around the league are saying late tonight they're convinced that the San Diego Chargers, after firing Marty Schottenheimer as their coach, will make a serious run at USC Coach Pete Carroll.
Carroll has resisted all NFL overtures in recent years. But he did interview with the Miami Dolphins this year and now there's a job available for which he wouldn't have to leave Southern California.
The Chargers could have an internal candidate in wide receivers coach James Lofton, who interviewed for the Oakland Raiders' head coaching job in each of the last two years.
