Is Norv Turner taking over as interim head coach a detrimental move to the team's playoff push?

[PhillyB]

If everyone gets their wish and we fire Ron, replacing him with Norv makes by far the most sense.

Of course that brings him out of the booth and down on the field. Something would happen differently with offensive play-calls.

Assuming all that gets worked out, does this give the team any kind of measurable advantage? We are still in the playoff hunt and any moves made now have to be made with that in mind.

Could Turner give this team a chance for an effective playoff run that Ron can't?

It’s better than Washington or Skipper being the “HC”

[bobsfoodbasics]

This team is not making the playoffs. I'd rather make Lance Taylor the head coach and lose out for a better draft pick.

Meh

[Car123]

His redzone playcalling needs improvement.

[GoobyPls]

Norv another relic from the past. He needs to go along with Rivera. 

 

 

[nickzz]

i don't see how he could be any worse. problem is that leaves Washington as the head of the defense.

[Fox007]

Perhaps we would score a bit more and stay attacking so we actually have a chance to make up for when the defense overshits their diapers.

[RJK]

THEY ARE NOT, AND NEVER WERE, MAKING THE PLAYOFFS. So who cares?

[The Lobo]

Would he even want to be a HC again? Didn’t we have to lure him out of retirement? He may not want all that responsibility. Although, he clearly was poo today on our first two RZ possessions. 7 straight runs I believe instead of a perfect cam newton throwing or a play action.

Norv Turner is just another version of Ron Rivera as HC, maybe even worse and at best only slightly better.  There is a reason those super talented Chargers teams never did much.

But I doubt Turner would agree to that happening anyway.  I don't think he wants to be saddled with any head coaching duties.

[Shaqil915]

This team has enough talent to beat any team in the league. We just have a giant mangina as our “leader”/HC.

Nothing about firing him is going to hurt our chances of making a super bowl run this season.

No matter the changes in logistics, making Norv the HC would be a net positive.  Norv was at least an average coach that won a lot of games over his career with a lot less talent on his rosters...  i would be completely ecstatic if Tepper made this happen.

The only thing this team is pushing is a big fat turd.  They won’t make the playoffs, get over that thought.
