Norv Turner Era: Success or Failure?

When Norv Turner was hired, Jack Kent Cooke was just focused on getting his stadium built, then when he passed away John Kent Cooke was just focused on keeping the team under his ownership.

I don't think it was until Snyder came along that anyone in that front office was even really paying attention to the team. There was just so much else going on at the time.

Huh? Not true at all. At the time we had a GM named Charley Casserly and a assistant GM Bobby Mitchell. When Snyder came in the team was in great shape thanks to Casserly. We had draft picks, a proven QB and were under the cap. The team was ready to win. Things went down hill when Deion Sanders and co. were signed. Snyder and Vinny f--ked everything up. 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.

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.
