Norv Turner

l Strahan.

Elvis Dumerville; Good, but no Demarcus Ware or James Harrison.

Coach of the Year:

Norv Turner:

Why:

Is there any hotter coach in the league than Norv Turner?  17-0 in December!  3 straight division titles!  This is guy is coaching his ass off right now and his players are responding.  He is very aggressive with his play calling as he calls flea flickers, reverses and the like at least once a game and his team is deadly in the redzone.  They are only 10th in yards per game but 4th in points scored.  And he is doing all of this without a running game.  Shawn Merriman is in and out of the line up.  They lost All-Pro defensive tackle Jamal Williams for the season.  What more do you want from this guy?

ng for the underdogs in several games, but none more than in the Indianapolis-San Diego game.  Norv Turner has been maligned at all his head coaching stops.  He wasn’t the favored choice after Marty was fired.  After all, who fires a legendary coach after a 14-2 season?  The Bolts did…so enter Norv.  The Chargers didn’t live up to expectations last year, as they failed to reach the Super Bowl.  All eyes were on Turner.  This season, Norv ran into a roadblock that is very difficult to negotiate…the referees.  But, the Chargers persevered, and they were able to capture the division crown at a mere 8-8.

           On Saturday night, the Cowboys had a golden opportunity to close out Texas Stadium in style.  This was the final game to be played at the stadium.  A Cowboys win would have been a fitting end to a stadium that has had many classic games.  A win, and the Cowboys would have been one step further in their quest for a playoff berth, and a Super Bowl run.

           Each week, on Friday, I will look into my (never wrong, just misinformed) crystal ball and give my predictions for that weekend’s games.  I will always prognosticate on the Eagles and Cowboys games and then pick two more games of interest (to me, that is, not necessarily to you).  Keep in mind, that this is for entertainment purposes only, and that I do not endorse any sort of legal or illegal gambling.  That being said…let’s see what’s in my crystal ball!

ng fullback…everyone knows they could use one!   

James S., San Diego, CA: Norv Turner is the worst coach ever and he has destroyed a great team.  Bring back Marty ball!

rry Jones did an extensive search to find his replacement.  It was believed, at the time, that Norv Turner was the front-runner.  The new head coach was going to inherit Jason Garrett, as Mr. Jones had already hired Garrett as the OC.  In the end, Jones decided on Wade Phillips.  The reasoning was that the Cowboys defense needed a proven “3-4 guy” to take what Parcells started to the next level.
