Norv Turner

e made the biggest desperation move in Super Charger history.

The three-year extension signed by Norv Turner only makes sense in one big way, and that’s money.

For an organization to re-sign a head coach who has consistently been outcoached in the playoffs to a three-year extension so quickly is absolutely dumbfounding.

           Each week, I will look into my (never wrong, just misinformed) crystal ball and give my predictions for that weekend’s games.  I will prognosticate on all the playoff games each week.  Keep in mind, that this is for entertainment purposes only, and that I do not endorse any sort of legal or illegal gambling.  That being said…let’s see what’s in my crystal ball!

ng for the underdogs in several games, but none more than in the Indianapolis-San Diego game.  Norv Turner has been maligned at all his head coaching stops.  He wasn’t the favored choice after Marty was fired.  After all, who fires a legendary coach after a 14-2 season?  The Bolts did…so enter Norv.  The Chargers didn’t live up to expectations last year, as they failed to reach the Super Bowl.  All eyes were on Turner.  This season, Norv ran into a roadblock that is very difficult to negotiate…the referees.  But, the Chargers persevered, and they were able to capture the division crown at a mere 8-8.

           On Saturday night, the Cowboys had a golden opportunity to close out Texas Stadium in style.  This was the final game to be played at the stadium.  A Cowboys win would have been a fitting end to a stadium that has had many classic games.  A win, and the Cowboys would have been one step further in their quest for a playoff berth, and a Super Bowl run.

           Each week, on Friday, I will look into my (never wrong, just misinformed) crystal ball and give my predictions for that weekend’s games.  I will always prognosticate on the Eagles and Cowboys games and then pick two more games of interest (to me, that is, not necessarily to you).  Keep in mind, that this is for entertainment purposes only, and that I do not endorse any sort of legal or illegal gambling.  That being said…let’s see what’s in my crystal ball!

James S., San Diego, CA: Norv Turner is the worst coach ever and he has destroyed a great team.  Bring back Marty ball!

rry Jones did an extensive search to find his replacement.  It was believed, at the time, that Norv Turner was the front-runner.  The new head coach was going to inherit Jason Garrett, as Mr. Jones had already hired Garrett as the OC.  In the end, Jones decided on Wade Phillips.  The reasoning was that the Cowboys defense needed a proven “3-4 guy” to take what Parcells started to the next level.

I wasn’t very excited about Norv Turner, but he proved me wrong by taking the San Diego Chargers almost there this season. This tells me he wasn’t all bad. But asking Lane Kiffin

eam made me a believer! I take back every less than flattering statement I have ever uttered about Norv Turner!  He really is an NFL coach that deserves respect.  

Next up, San Diego faces a challenging match-up in New England against the steamroller Patriots. They have weak spots; they just need to be exploited. The Chargers defense has as good of a chance as any to shut down the Pats offense. I know I’ll be having a heart attack or nervous breakdown through every play in the game. And to think, I thought the Chargers were done halfway through the season!
