According to a report by the San Diego Tribune Friday afternoon, the San Diego Chargers are heading towards a major shake-up at the end of the season.

Chargers writer Kevin Acee says that team president Dean Spano is telling people that he's going to need to make a head coaching change, which of course would mean that the current coach--Norv Turner, will be fired.

Acee also mentions that G.M A.J Smith may be on the hot seat as well.

None of this would be a huge surprise as the Chargers have been unable to get past the early rounds of the playoffs for years--despite being considered one of the best teams in the league. And this year it's been worse.

The Chargers are 4-7 and on the road this week to face the Jacksonville Jaguars. And while that may be a "Winnable" game, unless the Chargers run the table, it may be too late. They aren't likely to make the playoffs and the "Franchise" QB, Philip Rivers has struggled all year.

No, the coaching carousel has not visited San Diego in several years, but if we were placing bets, we're guessing it will be making a stop sometime around the 1st week of January. Turner is considered one of the best offensive coaches in the game and has been for some time, he'll land more work, it may just not be as a head coach.
