The players of Chargers are waiting for the divisional round playoff opponent next week. The focus may be the coaching staff.

It is thought and also believed that the Chargers could be soon pulling their trigger in extending the contract of coach Norv Turner. His contract is going to be expired in 2010 season end.

Norv Turner was under considerable heat at the time when Chargers struggled to a 2-3 start. He had has directed the club to three AFC West titles and also an AFC Championship Game appearance. He replaced Marty Schottenheimer in 2007 before the season started.

Regarding him Philip Rivers said, “I think as he’s done really every year, the steadiness, the never-flinch leadership and attitude that he coaches with has allowed us to bounce back from 2-3 and stay on the ground, enjoying an (11-game) win streak.”

He also said that Norv Turner shows his strength in staying the course even if the club venture off it.

He added further, “We never get too much on a high or too much on a low… It’s a steady, grounded, focused approach. It starts with him — he and the staff — the week-to-week game plans giving us a chance to succeed. I think, ultimately, the guys have to soak that in and put in the effort preparing. I think that’s been the biggest reason why we’ve played so well.”

Rivers also has blossomed under the guidance of Norv Turner.

When Philip Rivers was asked last Wednesday, December the 31st, by the media that what happened on Sunday in the Indianapolis Sunday and what is his take on how much he should play Sunday then he replied: “I think it’s obviously up to each individual team and each team has different circumstances and approaches. We’ve been told, and I’m sure Norv will fill you in with whatever info he sees necessary, to prepare like a regular week and for everybody to be ready to play four quarters.”

Philips also added that how they will be playing is not sure, but according to him if he and the team go and prepare and get a week better and keep the approach consistent then they would have the last 10 weeks. Moreover, it will be the team’s best interest and give themselves the best chance to improve.

When further Rivers was asked what is his personal feeling for the best then he replied that he is preparing to play four quarters. He added, “I think any time you suit up, you want to go win the game.”

Media also asked whether he will be carrying the December success to January then Rivers said that they take a great deal of pride in the fact that the team has won eighteen in a row in December.
