Norvel...Why Has Thou Stunk-Up Joint?

saden1 · 09-30-2007, 09:57 PM

Someone in SD needs to get fired and I'm not talking about Norv. What a dysfunctional team and disgraceful performance!

A.J. Smith should lose his job immediately, first for firing Marty, then for thinking that Norv was his best choice. Somewhere, Marty is smiling tonight.

I heard an interview replayed on the ESPN pregame show today and they asked Marty if he took any satisfaction in the Chargers losing. He was almost in tears talking about his ex players. Way to go A.J.

If the trend continues, it won't be long before Norv loses control of the team. Fans are calling for Marty already.

Amen.

This is the guy who was deemed "An offensive Genius" for winning with a team comprised of Troy Aikman, Emmit Smith and Michael Irving.

It doesn't take a genius to win with that talent.

It takes a genius to win with a Mark Rypien.

Norv stank up every head coaching job he's had. He's 3 for 3 now.

I know you can't replicate 14-2, but you shouldn't fall so fast.

A friend of mine use to laugh at the "offensive genius" moniker. To paraphrase him "how can you be an offensive genius when you lose to Arizona EVERY TIME YOU PLAY THEM". lol.

I think it would be, "...why hast thou stunk-up the joint?"

Monksdown · 10-01-2007, 04:46 PM

In the NFL, you get the opportunity to learn from other people's mistakes. Why would they hire Norv? If you want to know if he can motivate your players, just watch his after game press conferences every time he's been a headcoach. I wanted to quit, and I wasnt even a player. He's boring, he doesnt instill confidence. Even the coaches I hate in this league do that to some point.

It's called eye contact Norv. Try it when addressing reporters you scared little girl.

And then he's been labeled an offensive genius. He must be an idiot savant. He should focus more on his strengths, quarterbacks. Let someone with a spine manage the team.

No 70Chip.....
It's more like the joint stunk up the joint.......

Then there was poor norv? Getting ready for his next J.O.B.

Damn norv does really well at the offensive cordinator job, but when it comes to head coach material....can't get it done!

The Chargers' first mistake was letting go of Drew Brees. I think now that they aren't in Marty ball mode, Rivers is being exposed as ppl have mentioned and Brees would've been the man for the job this year. I had always thought that the chargers shouldn't have made the trade/pick for Rivers that year in the first place...there were plenty of teams that needed a qb that would have given an arm and a leg for that pick.

Their 2nd mistake was letting go of Donnie Edwards. He was a leader for that team and it never sends the right message to lose talent like that

Then came the coaching changes. I agree that Marty shouldn't have been fired after going 14-2 but if u are going to fire the head coach, either promote a coordinator or bring a head coach who will work with the same coordinators AND RETAIN THOSE COORDINATORS. I actually give Snyder a lotta credit for keeping GW with the skins despite his numerous head coaching jobs after the 05 season. Even though 06 was a disaster, having GW here this year is undoubtably why we stand here at 2-1, with hope as the season continues.

Finally when making coaching changes that are so rash as to firing ur head coach and losing ur coordinators, i think an organization who has a superstar like LT should get his his input before it makes any decisions about the future of the franchise. People will say well, they don't owe him anything more than his paycheck...but this is not the write approach if u want to promote harmony and loyalty. If they struggle, like they are, u don't want a situation in which the star player wants out b/c he wasn't consulted and believes that THAT is the reason why they are struggling.

Nevertheless, things aren't as good or bad as they seem so i wouldn't be surprised if the chargers somehow turned this around and won their division. They are only 1 game back, right?

I want to point out that I agreed with everything else you said, EXCEPT the above quote.
I have to assume you live in another country and have missed how dead awful Brees has been. Due to this fact, I will give you his stats: 677 yards, 1 td and 7 int's.
Phillip Rivers: 886 yards, 5tds, and 6 int's. (also 1% better comp%).
I'm not saying Rivers is a super stud right now, but no freakin way can you say Brees is the answer when he has a better receiving core in NO than Rivers has in SD and is doing twice as bad.
It seems to be PC to jump on Rivers and dog him...but fact is, the plays have sucked for SD. Even ESPN saw that LT wasn't getting goal line looks, he wasn't even in the game for many plays. This has Norv stench all over it. He is a loser as a coach and he spread his infection in SD.

EternalEnigma21 · 09-30-2007, 10:25 PM

yeah norv was a rediculous choice, but marty would be tough to be around... he's kind of a douchebag.

they have the talent, but bringing in norv was stupid. There were many much better coaches they couldve gone after... including jim mora jr, who I think wouldve fit there much better...

Are you kidding me?? Mora Jr. can't keep his mouth shut and he'd be shopping himself for another gig if he failed (and he would) to produce after a season or two. Plus, he's always got some players jock to sniff and can't seem to put the whole team's interests ahead of his "star" players (i.e.-Michael Vick).

Daseal · 09-30-2007, 10:30 PM

I'm starting to wonder how much talent they have. Their WRs are terrible, but they do have the best RB and TE in the game.

I think what was really exposed was that defense. Merriman can't keep it going without his roids it seems =p
