Looks like Norv turner getting fired
According to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune, it would require a "miracle turnaround" for Norv Turner to stay on as the Chargers' head coach in 2012.
"It will take a miracle turnaround for Norv Turner to be the coach beyond this year," said Acee on NFL Network's Around the League segment on Monday. The Chargers have dropped five straight games and are in last place in the AFC West. ESPN's Jerry Rice also blamed Turner for the Chargers' 2011 collapse on SportsCenter Monday. "Norv Turner is one of those coaches that just can’t you over the hump," Rice said. "I played under this guy." The Chargers appear http://rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/2...ly-out-in-2012 |

LOL.
Cowher is a decent motivator, but he is not a coach that can make chicken salad out of chicken shit. His assistants, coordinators, and QB were the reason he won a title. |

Cowher & Rivers going at each other on the sideline could be very entertaining

I think we should all get together and have a prayer that this intrepid soul is able to keep his job in San Diego.

Source: Turner, A.J. could return to Bolts
Posted on: January 2, 2012 4:29 pm There seems to be a lot of waffling on the future of San Diego coach Norv Turner, and, according to a source close to the organization, there's good reason. He believes that Turner and general manager A.J. Smith will be retained. Of course, that's not set in concrete. Nothing is this time of year. But it's the first tangible sign that both will return next season. Turner has two years left on his contract at $3 million per, and Smith has three years left at $2 million per season. According to the source, he believes that ownership is reluctant to fire each or both, then have to pay them. But there's more to it than that. Quarterback Philip Rivers is a big fan of Turner and voiced his support Sunday for his embattled head coach. Owner Dean Spanos is reluctant to fire Turner, too, one reason he wants time to sit on the decision. The public, of course, has made its displeasure with the Chargers known, but this year's team did not have the playmakers and talent people associate with the club. Injuries depleted the offensive line and wide receivers, tight end Antonio Gates played through a painful foot injury and the defense leaked too often. Plus, there were too many turnovers, with Rivers committing a career-worst 20 interceptions. Nevertheless, the Chargers won four of their last five starts to finish in a three-way tie for first in the AFC West -- with the club losing the tiebreaker to Denver. That the team fought down the stretch will count for something, but it's the second time in two seasons the Chargers missed the playoffs. That will go into Spanos' thinking. But so will a business decision. That's one reason he begged off on making an immediate move, saying he needed a couple of days to think about it. |

Signs improving for Norv Turner and A.J. Smith
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on January 2, 2012, 5:09 PM EST A J Smith, Dean Spanos, Corey Liuget, Norv Turner AP Chargers owner Dean Spanos said he needed a few days to think before making any decisions about coach Norv Turner and G.M. A.J. Smith. That alone was a good sign for Turner. So was this quote from Spanos: “It was really exciting,” Spanos said of Sunday’s win over the Raiders. “I’m really proud of them. I think it really shows how resilient they are, how hard they play for this coach.” It sounds like there is a realistic chance for Turner and Chargers G.M. A.J. Smith to both stick around. CBSSports.com’s Clark Judge has a ”source a source close to the Chargers organization” that believes Turner and general manager A.J. Smith will both be retained. Considering Spanos’ remarks last night, that’s not exactly a shock. If Turner and Smith had no chance of both returning, they would already be fired. Turner has two years left on his contract. Smith has three years left. Despite what most Chargers fan want, both men still have a chance to fulfill the rest of their deals. Permalink 4 Comments Feed for comments
