The Summer of Norv Turner

Someone posted a link to an SI article which contained this video buried in one of the thousand Norv Turner threads created in the past 24 hours.

I suggest you all watch it, it’s pretty interesting and shows the amount of respect that he commands. Released this past November, and it’s got Philip Rivers, Jim Harbaugh, Jason Garrett, Sean McVay all chatting with Norv and just appreciating the offensive mind that he is. He even name dropped Ron and Carolina during the sit-down with Harbaugh.

Assuming he’s the guy, we should all take solace in the fact that he is well respected in league circles, has made his mark on the league as an offensive mind, and is not Mike Shula.

This is a guy that can really help Cam out.

Sorry I didn’t have fifteen links to GIFs of someone else’s Twitter analysis.

He's going to take this offense to the next level. Anyone who can't see this is a massive upgrade over Shula-ball needs their head examined.

People bring up his last 2 jobs. The Vikings with who, Tavaris Jackson at QB? The Browns with God knows who at QB? 

I think everyone will be very happy with the results.

Norv said it would take a special situation to get him back into coaching....well here we go. Not everyday that Cam Newton in his prime come available to lead.

If he’s going to run basically the same crap Mike ran then how is this an upgrade? From everything I have read Ron doesn’t want a huge change in the offensive game plan, he just wants more consistency. 

Which I interpret as this team will still pound the rock, but when Cam does throw it Ron wants the ball to be caught at a higher %.

For the thousandth time- Shula’s scheme wasn’t terribly awful- his situational awareness and instruction during the week was awful. The reason he’s never sniffed a HC interview despite being a playoff team 4 of the last 5 years.

Norv pretty much wrote a thesis on the book that Chud and Shula attempted to implement.

If the offense becomes more consistent, isn't that a pretty big upgrade in itself?

As always, if he ends up being the guy, time will tell.  I'm just glad to see the organization making proactive changes.

Everyone on this board is assuming that Norv will actually take the OC job if Rivera offers it.  I wouldn't be too sure about that.  Any job interview I was ever on went two ways.  not only was the employer interviewing me, but I was interviewing the employer so I could get a feel for them and the job - see if I really wanted to work there regardless of what the pay was.  This video says to me that NT is pretty comfortable in his so far retirement from coaching.  Why would he want to come here in the middle of what is going to possibly be a major clusterfug in the coming months ?  And don't tell me it would be just so he can coach Cam.  That doesn't cut it.

Good point, but I think it’s widely assumed Ron wouldn’t have canned Shula had he not gotten a verbal from Norv.

Nice video find @mjligon.  Good to see the amount of respect Turner still has, despite whatever happened in Minn.

A couple things:  that stood out to me:  Mentioning Rivera and Carolina, talking about doing a few things really well, and common sense football.  We need that kind of mindset here.  And I think it would work out with Cam.

I agree though that Turner looks pretty content in this video.  How much "fire" does he have to come back?  What happens if things go sideways here?  

Interesting indeed.

I had not thought about that angle.  But if true why put on a charade of interviews and bringing in candidates ?  It makes no more sense than Rivera   " waking up at 3 am and realizing he had to make a change ".

It’s Ron. There is no telling what goes on in that man’s head sometimes.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By Basbear · Posted

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
