He also had disasters such as Westbrook punching out Davis and issues with Albert Connell go down on his watch.

Let's not absolve him all of blame now, he stinks as a head coach and he'll prove it for the 3rd time in San Diego.

Was it he or Charlie Casserly? Either way, Shuler and Westbrook were touted by many as the real deal. Just like Ryan Leaf and Peyton Manning, all the "experts" said it was 1 and 1a with those two. Half of Westbrook's problems were due to his extensive history and knack for injuries.

Connell was a head case -- nothing more. You want to blame Norv for his mental capacity too? Connell was kicked off the team. What else did you want? Norv is supposed to be a psycho-therapist as well as his other responsibilities as a head coach/O-coordinator?

Turner was the coach when the pendulum swung the other way for the Redskins. He was there for the wrong cycle.
