donald byrd 4 EVA Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 as a Charger fan, I must say I'm slightly disturbed by the hiring. While I do believe this was a very practical decision, in so far as Cotrell was already going to the DC and we needed experience at OC, I wonder if it would have been better to go younger. I do trust AJ Smith though, as hes has been the best decision maker in franchise history. Quote
paul secor Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 Norv Turner has never worked out in the past. Good luck, San Diego. Quote
Patrick Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 For some reason, Norv Turner's face always reminds me of the politician on the Simpsons. Maybe it's just the nose. I believe Marty Schottenheimer is a tad bit overrated (way too conservative, thinks he knows something about offense), but compared to Norv... With a top tight end, the best RB (arguably ever), and Rivers coming into his own, the pressure will be on Norv to get deep into the playoffs, if not to the Superbowl. Quote
T.D. Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 Include me in the "uninspired choice" camp. Not only has Norv never worked out in the past, he hasn't shown any particular leadership. Best suited for a coordinator/asst coach position IMO. That said, I haven't kept in touch enough to suggest a specific alternative. The Chargers probably should have axed Marty earlier, and promoted one of his (since departed) coordinators. Quote
sjarrell Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 As a Redskins fan, I can confirm that the Chargers are doomed. Sorry... Quote
alocispepraluger102 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 (edited) norv is a great playcaller. this time last year you were lamenting the unfortunate injury to your starting QB, and things worked out swell. take heart! ... but rivera probably leading your defense is no bargain. troy aikman, who i respect more than any other analyst, is a very strong norv supporter.

Scott Dolan Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 as a Charger fan, I must say I'm slightly disturbed by the hiring. I'd be more than "slightly" disturbed, my friend. Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 It will likely be a do-nothing year anyway, no matter the coach. Losing your entire coaching staff sucks. Quote
