People do learn, no question. But I don't see still how he deserved to be given a third opportunity with a team already on the cusp of the SB when he arrived.

Well, I definitely agree with you about the opportunity, but he's making the best of it. It wouldn't have been my choice at all, and I thought it was dumb to fire Marty just to bring in Norv. Obviously Norv is doing something right though, and I have not heard a single grumble out of SD about his leadership. Thus I feel he learned his lesson. There is no doubt that he's a great coordinator and QB coach, the question was about his ability to be a HC, and so far he's passing with flying colors.
