Lol. It's strange how players and coaches are succesful before and after they are part of the Skins org. With the exceptions of course! Good for Norv.

I'm glad Norv won, but he has never really done that stellar before, during, or after with any organization. Marty built such an amazingly talented team that Norv didn't even really have to do anything.

What!!!! He was OC for the 92-93 Dallas Cowboys back to back Super Bowls! I'd say that's stellar!

I'm talking more Head Coach

Norv has accomplished plenty. He is a very respected offensive coach in the NFL. He game plans a game better than anyone.
Norv was credited for developing Troy Aikman. If you hear Troy talk he loves Norv and credits Norv for bring the Offensive system that developed in Dallas.

And he knows how to put up points with mediocre receivers

[44Deezel]

Did anyone see that first drive from the Fins? Not a single pass to a receiver and they went 60 yards and had second and goal from the 1 yard line before settling for a field goal. Why can't the Skins do that?

I don't even think they completed a pass to a tight end. I think it was just Cobbs (their 3rd RB).

Norv is a FANTASTIC OC. They just need to stop trying to turn him into a head coach.

Damn Flacco looks good for a rookie.
Very impressive

I'd take Norv or Zorn. Norv may not be HC material but he knows NFL offense. As long as you have a strong veteran team and a good defensive coordinator Norv isn't a bad HC.

I think we need to go after Sproils. He's exactly what our offense needs. Someone explosive coming out of the back field. We may want to start a thread on this!

He isn't a good one either. San Diego made the playoffs with the same record we had and a very talented team.

IMO saying Norv is not a good HC is not accurate. People forget Norv is the last Redskins coach to take us (Redskins) to the second round of the playoffs in the last 15 YEARS.
Not Spurruer, not Gibbs, not Schottenhiemer...Norv Turner did it.

NOrv also was HC in the black hole Oakland Raiders for only two seasons, where nobody wins. Not even so called awesome Shanahan couldn't win there.
So it needs to be put into perspective.

They made it ot the playoffs and beat Indy 11-5 team.
Are you going to take that away from them?

They didn't just beat a weak sister. They beat a SB contender.
Peytom Manning MVP of the league. Dwight Freeny highest paid DE in the league.

No. Like I said, they're a very talented team. Marty took them to 14-2 a couple of years ago and Wade took the Cowgirls to the playoffs last year. Very talented teams.
