Should the San Diego Chargers Fire Norv Turner Mid-Season?

I am so sick of him, he’s soft he doesn’t know how to discipline, he’s a terrible playcaller, i dont care what any of the experts say, he’s way too predictable and he doesn’t know how to motivate his players.And i can think of about 10 more reasons why he should go now, he sucks and i have been calling for his head for the last 2 years.
I dont want to see him on the sideline next week and if we lose to jaguars and make blaine gabbert look like Aaron Rodgers like we do with every other qb, he doesn’t deserve to coach in the nfl period.

I am certainly not a Norv Turner booster – at least not as a head coach. And the job may be adversely affecting his performance as an offensive coach. The real culprit in this year’s fiasco is the GM, Smith. He has failed to give the coach enough talent to get the job done. The offensive line story is shameful, even before the massive injuries. I’m sure that the mystery problem with Rivers is that he just isn’t getting enough time. On the defensive side of the ball, they have been weak up the middle most of the year. So, firing Turner now isn’t going to turn this year around.

Then all u norv followers r all gonna be doubting him

P.s Were gonna make blaine gabbert look like Aaron Rodgers

yes yes yes no yes yes yes yes eys

If we decide to fire norv and let Manusky or Basaccia (highly unlikely) be the interim coach for the rest of the season, then sure.. But I DO NOT want another HC puppet pick by AJ.

AJ Smith is the issue…get rid of him, then pick a head coach for next season that knows how to guide a team through to the Superbowl…there are several out there… Chuckie, Clowher, to name two… Jeff Fischer, Dungy, Mooch…any of which would be more fun to watch than Norv.

While AJ has had some success in drafting new players, None of his picks were exactly brain surgery. He didn’t exactly discover Rivers, Brees, LT, etc. Under a rock. He is too much of a control freak, which is why he fired Marty- after a 14-2 season? Really?

AJ has to take a 50/50 split on this one. The talent level is down a lot from a few years ago, and Norv has done even less with his players this year, respectively, than in past seasons. The team has taken on his attitude. Rex Ryan was right that he would have a couple rings by now.

By doing so we get a higher pick and an almost lock that Norv and AJ get canned. That being said it just does not feel right to hope that the Chargers lose any games let alone all of the remaining ones.

Everyone is talking about how Norv blew it at the end of the game yesterday and not playing for the win. Why he should be fired is that he didn’t trust his QB or his RB to win the game. He put all his trust into a field goal kicker who was unemployed at the beginning of the year to kick a 53 yard FG and sat on the ball when he got to the 35 yard line and didn’t even try to advance the ball

no doubt norv must got aj should go also. What a mess they have made of this team it is unreal. the window has closed it is going to be a long draught cant even beat Denver at home. the defense is horrible rivers is horrible we have 2 running backs that cant hold on to the ball when it counts the most. We have wasted the careers of some pretty good players to Tomlinson, Jammer and Gates not to mention some pretty good offensive line man. They but their faith in Rivers gave him 92 million and he is horrible. Drew Brees and Marty would have won two super bowls if they kep them together. Rivers is not a leader they dont have one. 3 points in 45 minutes.

I always think of this play when characterizing Norv, week 2 ‘09 vs Baltimore at home. 20 seconds or so left before half time, we’re down inside their 10 yd line. Our O-line is banged up after the opener in Oakland, the play before, Baltimore (I think Ngata) blows up our o-line and drops rivers for a sack. Now it’s 3rd down, Norv shits his pants like always in the red zone or after our o-line has a terrible play and sends out the fg unit on 3rd down with time left inside the 10 yd line! He could’ve easily thrown a jump ball to gates/jackson/floyd or anything, you know, risks you need to take in order to be a championship caliber team or beat championship caliber teams. Nope, he chickens out and kicks a fg. What happens? we lose on the last play when he panicks again with his playcalling and the game on the line. Norv is and will always be a loser, just like Marty. They are the same person, just opposite sides of the ball.

there’s no need to abandon ship. take your time. The Chargers are 4-7, and mathematically still in it. the Seahawks got in at what 7-9, and beat the saints.

There is really no reason to now. Bisaccia is not the answer either, and unless he is the heir apparent, interim coaches do nothing for the team. Let Norv finish the season, and then bring down the ax on Black Monday. Make a decision on AJ quickly, so if he can be replaced quickly the new GM will have ample time to assess the roster and prepare for the draft and offseason.

I don’t know if he would actually make a good general manager or if he has ever been one but he needs to pay a penalty for the poor coaching job he has done. You never know; maybe he could be what we need to get great players in the draft and get someone else to coach them.
