Why would you bring in Jeff George? Why would you bring in Bruce Smith? Why would you fire Marty after one year? Why would you hire a college coach with a gimmick offense? Danny Boi wants to win but he just has NO CLUE how to win. Always after a quick fix. You just can't buy team chemistry. It's not for sale. I bet John Cooke is sitting back on an island somewhere laughing his ass off.

I think John Cooke runs a vineyard in Virginia. He was, according to several sources, completely clueless while running the Redskins and while his dad was there.

At the time, I thought Turner was a failure...but THEN the Spurrier era happened and I was wishing we still had Turner. Yuck.

He's not going to improve Dallas in my opinion. It's a shallow year for coaching prospects though and he's probably the best they can do on such short notice though.

It'll be fun beating the Cowboys twice next year.

Norv is the worst available candidate becasue he is a proven failure. There are a number of qualified coordinators that deserve a chance to be a head coach over that retread. We assume there are no good candidates because the media is not spouting off about anyone inparticular other than the Pittsburgh guys and Ron Rivera.

Is he better than the Joe Gibbs that coached this team in the 80s, I dont think so. Is he better than the Joe Gibbs coaching the team now, it seems as if he might be.

Give me a break! You can't tell me with a staight face that Norv Turner is better than Joe Gibbs under any circumstances, not even as an offensive coordinator.

What will be interesting to see is if JJ gives in to his demands of having his own staff, or tells him hell no. Or somewhere in between; maybe Norv will cave in if the money is good.

It's highly unusual for a guy who has failed twice to get a third shot at an NFL head coaching job. "Two and thru" is usually the rule of thumb.

Except when the owner wants the coach to be weak so he can actually run things.

I personally think norv has an undeserved reputation as sucking

I agree with you.... I still respect Norvo

At this moment in time I think Norv and Joe are about equal. I never thought I'd say that but Joe just does not have it in today's NFL.
