Report: Norv Turner in at San Diego

[GettnHuge 2]

Fox Sports Radio's Jay Glazer is reporting that Norv Turner looks to be the new head coach

in San Diego. Sounds like all that is left is to agree on a contract, but apparently that is who

they have decided on.

Thank goodness.... The Broncos just sealed up the AFCW thanks to this move, and Herm signing last year!

What a fockin joke, Norv Turner is a putz. SD's record drops dramatically next year because of this!

Can't decide if this hurts the Niners or the Chargers more.

 

Niners: Offense was just improving, now Alex Smith will be back to under-average.

 

Chargers: Norv knows NOTHING about defense, the Chargers will need a great d-coordinator.

He is also a huge passing offense guy, which might leave LT out of a few plays. And every play LT is not in...is a bad play.

LT will be the QB and RB... similar to the disaster in Atlanta.

well there are plenty of good Def coordinators who were interviewing for this and other jobs. They are out there.

The San Diego Chargers are leaning toward a new head coach and it's the man everyone thought was going to be head coach of Dallas.

 

FOXSports.com has learned that the Chargers are talking to Norv Turner as if they are looking to hire him as their head coach. Sources contend that Turner is leaning toward hiring Ted Cottrell, a long-time defensive NFL coach, to run the Chargers defense. Cottrell worked in the league office this past season but is one of the best minds in the league in running a 3-4 scheme.

 

Oddly, earlier in the day based off of different information, Rex Ryan appeared to be the leading candidate to get the job. What or if anything happened to change that remains to be seen.

 

--

General Manager A.J. Smith had talks with Turner late this evening, talks that sounded as if Turner was the team's choice. In fact, they even talked contract figures.

This article doesnt say anything official on it. Norv was the fav for the Dallas job too. I won't believe it until I see the contract, LT calling me telling me that he saw the contract being signed, or Norv Turner, while signing the contract, calls his daughter to call me to tell me that he will be the new coach of the Chargers.

 

Damn...4 glasses of rum and coke and I'm babbling?

That's why I labeled the thread a 'report' instead of 'official' and in the 1st post said 'looks to be'

hth

Norv...is also a huge passing offense guy....

Not sure where you get that from. It's documented history that RBs thrive under his tutelage....Emmitt, Stephen Davis, Lamont Jordan, Gore, to name some.

[redtodd 7]

In his 1st two coaching stints, he did not have very good personal. Now, he has it. If he can't succeed with a 14-2 team, he should NEVER even be considered for another HC job after this.

he's been a head coach for like 9 seasons and only made the playoffs once. it's not his players fault, he sucks.

 

Career regular season record: 58 - 82 - 1 (0.415)

Career postseason record: 1 - 1

[GettnHuge 2]

well if AJ Smith wants a puppet head coach, who is more qualified than a guy who was under Jerry Jones/Jimmy Johnson, Dan Snyder and Al Davis?

[GobbleDog 996]

Shottenheimer goes 14-2 and gets fired. Just imagine how stupid San Diego is going to feel when Norv Turner doesn't even make the playoffs.

Great move for San Diego. Norv has obviously proven himself as a HC. Perhaps this will help in my Colts repeating!

[cmh6476 1,025]

Thank goodness.... The Broncos just sealed up the AFCW thanks to this move, and Herm signing last year!

i thought the fact they signed Norv was going to be the funniest thing in this thread, until I read your post

its official, got an email from the associate producer of espn radio i know

It's not funny, it's true and it's sad. The Broncos with Ratface Shinyhand have a ginormous coaching advantage on the rest of the division.

exactly, cause the chiefs/Broncos/chargers all have enough talent to contend for a championship each year, but c'mon.... Herm & Norv can't even hold Shanahans jock. THAT will seperate the teams right there. I still can't believe the Broncos lost to the 9ers which sealed our playoff doom

Also Ricky Williams, and LT2 as a rookie.

Well, I would take Green or Rivers over Cutler right now, so that's one disadvantage for Denver, but overall yeah IMO the Broncos have easily the best shot at winning the division next year.

[RicemanX 20]

yea it does look like its slightly official now.

[GettnHuge 2]

I should find some san diego sports talk stations online and listen to the outrage

Wasn't he Emmitt Smith's OC? Seems Emmitt had a pretty good career.... I think Stephen 'never bench him' Davis and Frank Gore did okay with him too.

[Toro 1]

After the hiring of Norv Turner, the Houston Texans, in an effort to regain their position as the NFL team who has made the most bonehead decisions, has decided to forgo the NFL draft this year and will be traveling to Darfur to hold open tryouts to try and help it's offensive line.

[wiffleball 4,790]

Tough position for Turner. Pretty much anything less than going to the SuperBowl is damn near a failure.

 

Not his fault - just stupid to fire a coach who gets you 14 wins, a division title and is in the top 5 in active coaches winning %.

[cmh6476 1,025]

Herm Edwards accomplished in 1 year what D!ck Vermeil didn't in what 5?

 

Herm had a lot of success in New York, and as he brings in the pieces he needs in KC, they're only going to continue to improve. KC is already in a better position than Denver, that's apparent after this season.

 

 

Lose our QB for a majority of the season, lose our ProBowl starting LT to retirement, and we still end up in the playoss only to lose to the eventual World Champions. The Chiefs aren't they far off, quit kiddin yourselves fellas.

[t.j 35]

Herm Edwards has never accomplished anything, quit kiddin yourself cmh.
