Norv Turner Era: Success or Failure?

Hog1 · 01-30-2007, 04:11 PM

I have to piggy back with TMC.
I like Norv, but he appeared to have chronic discipline problems, and the team was to often sloppy. The rumor around Redskin park was lack of discipline as well, control problems. TO and his kind will give him a bad time. I don't envy him. I wish him luck (but not as much as the SKINS)

I think played with the Titans for a few years.

I just remember the Redskins' offense being very predictable and vanilla during the Norval years. I know he's known as a great offensive mind, but hell I would be considered a genious too if I had Aikman, Smith and Irvin.

Hey, did you know your namesake might be the next defensive coordinator of the Niners? I'm talking about former Redskins LB Greg Manusky for those that don't know.

It's official, by the way

ESPN.com - NFL - Chargers' Manusky named 49ers' defensive coordinator

this is when you know you have made it. and yesterday, i was watching nfl live and jimmy johnson was on. he said that working with jones really wasnt that bad. but he just wanted to be included in the football decisions. that was his downfall in dallas. he thought jones knew nothing about football, and treated him as so

I didn't hear that, but good for him. Whenever I think of him, I think of that crazed special teamer with a mohawk.

The thing that really killed me about norv was that if it was 3rd and 10 he would call a 7 yard pass play.If it was 3rd and 7 he would call a 5 yard pass.I felt like he had no balls and that just drove me nuts.

Almost every first down was a run play too...its all starting to come back, like bad acid reflux

A definte failure. One series sums it all up for me. I hated every year with Turner as his teams had no character. Good plays but no intangebles.

With about 1:30 left in the 1st half and the skins down by 17. They have the ball on the approx. their 35. Most coaches want to get a score and go into halftime with a little momentum. Well Norv, tells the QB to take the knee. That was it for me. He just has no killer mentality nor does he have a clue of how to motivate. All the players love him, he is a players coach but sometimes you have motivate and since he was so close to the players he was unable.

My hope for him is that he gets the Dallas job, we could at least be guarenteed of Dallas failling for many years to come.

Every Cowboys fan is watching Tape from the Aikman-Smith-irvin glory days and booking SB trips next year.

I seem to remember Washington not being too sad to see Norv leave.

Why would Cowboy fans be so happy about Norv? He's not HC material. I think everyone around the NFL knows that. A HC needs to be a leader and Norv is no leader. Nice play caller and OC but that's it. The problem is Jerry wants to bring in someone he can push around. Why else is he bringing in guys like Norv and Jason Garrett? Do you honestly think Norv or Garrett could handle TO? Norv couldn't even handle Michael Westbrook. And Garrett, WTF has he done??????????????? If Jerry was serious about winning he would hire Mike Singletary cause that guy commands respect right when he walks in the door. Plus he can coach his ass off. I once saw a piece on NFL films where he got right in Ray Lewis' face after a bad play. This was when he was coaching in Balt. And Ray Lewis sat there and listened to him and said "yes sir." Not too many guys in the NFL command that type of respect. Brian Billick can't even do that to Ray Lewis. But it won't happen because there is no way Jerry's gonna push around Singletary.

I feel confident that any stench from his tour with the Raiders should be completely overlooked. If they do hire Norv as head coach (and it looks that way), I think that it will be to mentor Jason Garrett as offensive coordinator. I think Jerry Jones is taking his defense for granted, and wants to fix himself offensively.
