Norv Turner, A.J. Smith Will Be Back

(CBS) -- San Diego Chargers president Dean Spanos said that head coach Norv Turner and general manager A.J. Smith will return to the team next year, according to ESPN.com.

"The easiest thing in the world is to start over. Who the hell do I go hire? Blow the whole thing up? We're a pretty good team but we have to make the right moves," said Spanos. "We've fallen. It could have been our draft picks or our free-agent moves. But we have a good core, and I don't care what anybody says, I'm not afraid to make changes. If I thought it was warranted, I would do it. We have a good foundation here."

The Chargers 34-20 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday put an end to their run of four straight AFC West titles. Their 2-5 start to the season proved too much to overcome.
