The 46-year-old Brewster spent the last two seasons with the Broncos, after three years as tight ends coach for the San Diego Chargers. Before that, he was an assistant at Texas and North Carolina. Mason was fired Dec. 31, two days after Texas Tech rallied from a 38-7 deficit to complete the biggest comeback in major college bowl history with a 44-41 victory over Minnesota in the |

It wasn't known why Schottenheimer pulled out of consideration. He's the son of Marty Schottenheimer, whose San Diego Chargers were eliminated from the playoffs Sunday by New England. The elder Schottenheimer's job could be in jeopardy, and if he's fired, there's speculation the Dolphins might pursue him. Brian Schottenheimer, 33, was the Dolphins' youngest candidate. He |

SAN DIEGO (AP) -Marty Schottenheimer got a vote of confidence Monday from LaDainian Tomlinson. Unfortunately for Schottenheimer, the league MVP isn't going to be deciding whether he remains as coach of the San Diego Chargers following their shocking ouster well short of the Super Bowl. Tomlinson and defensive end Luis Castillo defended Schottenheimer, whose job could be in jeopardy after the Chargers' bumbling 24-21 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday, their first home defeat of the season.

The 65-year-old Henning, a former head coach with the Atlanta Falcons and San Diego Chargers, was one of coach John Fox's first hires shortly after he took over in 2002. After going 7-9 in Fox's first season, the Panthers reached the Super Bowl a year later and lost on a last-second field goal to New England as quarterback Jake Delhomme, |

SAN DIEGO (AP) -Marty Schottenheimer may not get a chance to lose another playoff game, at least with the San Diego Chargers. The San Diego coach absorbed his sixth consecutive playoff defeat Sunday when the New England Patriots rallied for a 24-21 win over the mistake-prone Chargers. Schottenheimer has a year remaining on his contract, for more than $3 million, but his relationship with Chargers general manager A.J. Smith apparently has deteriorated recently. Asked if he plans to be back next year, the |

His teammates seemed determined to give away a game he almost single-handedly had put in the bag for the San Diego Chargers. And there wasn't a thing he could do. On the field, Tom Brady was doing his thing, leading the New England Patriots to two late scores that stunned a boisterous throng of 68,810 into silence.

OCEANSIDE, Calif. (AP) -The San Diego Chargers might one day play in a stadium built on a public golf course nicknamed Goat Hill because of its steep terrain. Team president Dean Spanos sent a letter Friday to Mayor Jim Wood saying the team would like to discuss the possibility of building a stadium in this city in northern San Diego County. Wood and Spanos met Jan. 2, and the City Council voted unanimously last Saturday to notify the Chargers that it was interested in talking with the team about putting a |
