Chargers announce extension for Norv Turner


Kevin Greene

Recommended Posts

As an apparent reward for Sunday's throwback to Martyball, Chargers coach Norv Turner has received a three-year contract extension.

The team announced the new deal on Monday night.

"I'm extremely proud of the job Norv has done with this team," team president Dean Spanos in a statement issued by the team. "In three seasons he's led the team to three division titles. I'm confident that if we strengthen our roster and continue to provide Norv the assets he needs, this team will have continued success."

Or maybe -- just maybe -- Norv and G.M. A.J. Smith have taken this team as far as they ever can or will, and maybe the time has come to find a coach and a front-office chief who can push this franchise over the top.

They're kinda the same honestly. Same bullshit loyalty to players that are clearly past their prime(LT).

at least norv gets to the playoffs consistently, and his bullshit loyalty is for LT, one of the greatest RBs of all time, while fox has bullshit loyalty to... Jake Delhomme

Sorta the problem we have as well. Except we acquire talent, but still don't know what to do with it.

Still, I'll take 3 division titles and some playoff wins over Fox's crap anyday.

    • I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo. 
    • Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.   
    • Mr. 0-2 every year to start the season in his career. Last year was the first year he ever played a week 3 game.
