Norv Turner hired as Chargers new head coach
Chargers | Turner hired as new head coach
Mon, 19 Feb 2007 08:12:02 -0800Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports the San Diego Chargers have hired Norv Turner as their new head coach. Terms of the deal were undisclosed. Turner had been serving as the offensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers.

Sources: Chargers will hire Turner as next head coach


By Len Pasquarelli
ESPN.com

San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Norv Turner has agreed in principle to become the San Diego Chargers' next coach, sources told ESPN.com.


In addition to the Turner hiring, longtime league assistant coach Ted Cottrell will meet early this week with San Diego officials which should result in the Chargers hiring Cottrell as the club's new defensive coordinator.

Cottrell, who worked in the NFL office in 2006, has extensive experience with the 3-4 defense that San Diego used last season.

Turner is one of six candidates to have interviewed for the position. The other known head coach candidates -- Gary Gibbs (New Orleans), Mike Zimmer (Atlanta), Mike Singletary (San Francisco), Ron Rivera (Chicago) and Rex Ryan (Baltimore) -- are all coaches whose expertise is on the defensive side. All but Singletary are current coordinators.

Turner has twice previously been a head coach in the league. Cottrell has interviewed in the past for head coach positions, and came very close to landing the top job in San Francisco four years ago, but the meeting with Chargers officials is strictly an interview for the team's defensive coordinator spot, several sources said.

San Diego officials prefer to retain a 3-4 defense, the scheme for which the personnel is best suited, and hiring Cottrell would permit that. Cottrell was actually recommended to Schottenheimer by Smith when then-Chargers defensive coordinator Wade Phillips was hired by the Dallas Cowboys as their new head coach.

Marty Schottenheimer instead leaned toward hiring his younger brother, Kurt Schottenheimer, as the replacement for Phillips. In addition to Marty Schottenheimer, the Chargers, who posted an NFL-best 14-2 record in 2006 but were ousted in the divisional round of the playoffs, have lost five assistant coaches since the end of the season. That includes both coordinators.

Cottrell, 59, possesses 22 seasons of NFL experience as an assistant coach, including three stints as a defensive coordinator. He most recently worked as coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings (2004-2005). Cottrell lost his job when the Vikings fired coach Mike Tice after the 2005 season.

Norv is very good with RBs... LT should really live up to his potential in 2007, finally becoming a top RB.

Would be nice but, who is our QB and where is our line? Based on what we know now I would say the Broncos win the division, Chargers in 2nd, Chiefs 3rd and Raidurrs last.

I'll agree but hiring Turner is like turning down a shit sandwich and ordering the manure pie.

You have got to love the Chargers commitment to recycling.

Some guys are just made to be coordinators and assistant coaches. They just can't make it at the top level. Nothing wrong with that.

I'll agree with that. Lamont Jordan put up some decent numbers under Norv in 2005.

Don't Norv and Cameron subscribe to the same offensive philosophy? I guess there's the continuity factor ... despite the fact that Norv has been a terrible HEAD coach.

But then, what kind of choices did SD have at this late stage?

A column in San Diego yesterday basically said that Marty asked for his brother to get the job as a way to get himself fired, because he knew they'd never go for it. And he wanted out without having to quit because then they'd still have to pay him.

That's probably true. The chargers must be a pretty cheap organization.
