Norv Turner said he’s been coaching too long — including getting fired twice along the way — to let chatter about the proverbial hot seat be a distraction. On Monday, though, that chatter turned into a clamor as angry fans called for both Turner and general manager A.J. Smith to be fired by team President Dean Spanos. Already livid, the paying customers turned up their wrath a day after Turner made some questionable play calls in a 16-13 overtime loss to Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos. San Diego’s six-game losing streak is its longest in a decade and dropped the Chargers into a last-place tie in the AFC West at 4-7, three games behind Oakland with five to play. “I’m not oblivious to any of that, but it’s not something that’s going to be an issue for me and I’m not going to talk a lot about it over the next five weeks,†Turner said. “As I said, I’ve been doing this a long time and I do know how to go about preparing for a game. We’ve gotten our guys prepared and that’s going to be our goal to keep getting them prepared. I don’t think it’s an issue right now and I’m sure it’s something when we’re through with the season it’ll be handled,†said Turner, who’s under contract through 2013. Source: Associated Press
