But with that being said, he is the Chargers winningest coach and won more playoff games than Marty so instead of kicking him on his way out, I would shake his hand, then lock the door.

Can this be the end of him being a head coach? He can coordinate offenses all he’d like. But he’s just not capable of being the main man.

This was the first regular season victory against the Steelers in Pittsburgh in franchise History. 50+ years and Turner is the first coach to do it. If i was Dean regardless of the situation, Id do the same thing, however it definantly still awkward

Really? He gets more chances because he is white? Thats crazy! Norv has under performed in SD we all know that including Norv. But the man still has rings, still understands NFL level football.

Perhaps like Wade Phillips he has too much on his plate when HC, being a co-ordinator maybe again maybe Norv will hit his stride.

Rivers and now Ryan Mathews seems to have digressed significantly over the last few years. At least he can feel good about Danario Alexander’s play since being signed midseason by SD (550 yds, 5 tds in 6 gms), but that was probably more about him finally staying healthy than Turner’s coaching.

History proves this.

Please keep Norv Turner as your headcoach. We really like him.

Sincerely,
The rest of the league

Alex was showing signs of being a good QB when Norv was our OC. Oh well, things happen for a reason.

When I see guys like him and Gailey and Mullarkey and Wade Philips continue to get gigs there is clearly still a problem.
