Best Dolt fan reactions to Norv's hiring - Page 8

BigRock · 02-19-2007, 12:14 PM

Possibly the best reaction is that the message board on the official Chargers site has a petition against hiring Norv.

http://www.petitiononline.com/norv/petition.html

And a poll there has a 90% "no" vote in asking if people think the hire is a good idea. Feel free to add any good lines you see!

Quote:

NOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooOOOooooooooo!

Quote:

God I feel I'm gonna be sick!!!!

Quote:

Hiring Norv Turner only makes sense if A.J. Smith has a lot of money invested in Norv Turner effigies.

Quote:

Oh god I feel sick. I need to gather myself here for a second......Im not liking this right now but I have no choice but to give it a chance(if all this is true). Im going to focus on the positives. Take Rivers for example, this should benefit him the most. I can see Rivers really taking it to another level with Norv running the show. Okay I was going to list some more positives but Im not feeling so good again....oh god!

Quote:

I cant believe we could end up with Cotrell as DC. With all the bright young defensive minds around the NFL, including the ones that were interviewed for HC we could end up with Cotrell in charger of a young Charger defense with so much potential. What a waste.

Quote:

I thought we were trying to IMPROVE the head coaching position..

Quote:

I seriously might be ill. Norv Turner, looks like a nice guy. About as inspiring as soggy dog poop. Hello, what a tired, retreaded, been-there-done-that, abysmal failure of a HC as a choice. Unbelievable. If AJ is such a genius, how do you figure this? You have great guys like singletary, Rex Ryan, ron rivera (the last two coached, you know, OK defenses last year), and you wind up with Norv freakin turner? It's like being able to choose any car in the world you want and you pick a 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera with duct tape holding the door on.

Quote:

Woopty doo. Troy Aikman had him give his HOF speech. Walter Payton's son gave his acceptance speech...should we give young twenty something year old Jarret Payton an interview on Monday too? I'll let Norv's 59-82 career record be the judge of him

Quote:

Jerry Rice in his book described Norv as guy who couldn't control the players, and not a good authority figure.

Quote:

It's a good thing I hadn't had breakfast yet when I heard this litle tidbit on ESPN Radio.

Quote:

This is an absolutely HORRIBLE decision. I am seriously thinking about canceling my season tickets in protest. What a dumb dumb dumb move.

Quote:

Norv Turner can kiss my left nut.

Quote:

I think you guys should give Norv another chance. He is a GREAT coach.

I agree with Mike! Give the guy a chance.

Yes, biggest mistake I have ever made was firing Norv Turner. I give you my unqualified support of Norv.

The OC is Clarence Shelmon, the Chargers RB coach since 2001.

The DC is Ted Cottrell

Cardinals (7-9)
Saints (7-9)
Cardinals (7-9)

They beat 2 teams with a winning record that year, the Seahawks, and the Eagles.

Your point was you live or die by your talent, but Schotty offers the clear demarkation between a team not used to playing his way and then buying in to playing his way, with the exact same talent.

Not Schott - 0-5
Schott - 8-3
All the stuff about how good their competition was is irrelevant to the point at issue.

So you really believe that the team didn't buy into his stuff until after he, as their head coach, lost the first 5 games of the year? Wouldn't that discourage the players even more and alienate the head coach? Your explination has no logic behind it.

Yeah, my thesis is that they lost those first 5, then sat down, reassessed, and said "hey! let's follow this guy."

C'mon you dope.

My point is that they took time to resolve themselves to the fact that he was in charge, and when they did, and started cohering, the same TALENT ended up playing much better FOOTBALL.

So you dont think that they sat down in the beginning of the season and thought the same thing?

I went to their first game that season, as it was being played in San Diego. They sucked.

Also, you know Marty, he is one of the most intense coaches in the league. I cant believe that you think that he didn't get their attention at Training Camp and the preseason.

The Chargers went from having the best 2 coordinators in the NFL to having 2 of the worst.

This is great.

Granted it is not that big of an issue as it used to be but those 2 games could decide the division.
