Coach Marty takes the Chargers to the best record in the league a few years back and loses in the playoffs and gets canned. Now we have the opposite effect taking place with Norv Turner. Norv can’t get fired and even if he does someone else will take him as the head coach for some reason. He’s NOT A HEAD COACH. He’s the head coaching version of Matt Millen and he’s not getting another chance ever to run a team so why do teams keep giving Norv a job.

I’ve harped on this time and time again that Norv Turner is a gifted offensive coordinator who has success at that job, but he can’t be a head coach.

San Diego has a roster full of guys who should be pro bowlers yet they lose every close game possible and that’s a sign of bad coaching. Norv hasn’t cut it here and hasn’t cut it anywhere else. He’s the coaching version of Stephon Marbury as a player in that no team led by him wins. He’s the Cincinnati Bengals of coaches or the old school mid 70’s Tampa Bay. He’s today’s Raiders and yesterday’s Devil Rays. Let the man walk away and be the coordinator and the team will score points, let him be the head coach and your team will lose. It’s that simple and it’s a proven formula for failure.
