footballhenry Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 We had Norv Turner, then Marty Schottenheimer, then Steve Spurrier. I am leaving out Terry Robiskie because he only coached a couple games. Of those three who do you like the best? Who is your favorite? Who was the best 'coach'? etc etc I probably liked Norv the best. I thought Spurrier was most definitely the most entertaining. But Marty was the best coach hands down. I know for a fact that if he had stuck around then we would have made the playoffs his second year. As far as overall performance/likeness/potential: 1. Marty Schottenheimer (great coach, could've brought us back) 2. Steve Spurrier (still believe his system CAN work in the NFL) 3. Norv Turner (the genuinely nicest guy of the three though) Of course none of them compare to the greatness of Joe Gibbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsngibbs4life Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 well, i have mixed feelings about all of them... Even though I think that marty is the better coach out of the three, I think that we have to give respect to turner just because he was the last coach to take us to the playoffs... out of the three that i liked the best, I would have to say marty. I dont know why, but turner just gets on my nerves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallsux Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Well, I think the wording is a little off. I don't have a favorite, but I do consider one less terrible than another. I would choose Marty over either of them, then Norv, then Ritchie Petitbone, then Terry Robiskie, then Spurrier, in that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnacpa Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 You left out Richie Pettibone and Terry Robiski My favorite was Marty ... I understood the gamble, but I can't support a quitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo-toni Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Robiskie by default. I hated Norvo, and really hated Schotferbrains. Spurrier was just outclassed, though I think he would've gotten us into the playoffs last year if he'd had Gregg Williams running the D. Actually, if Petitbon had had a decent GM getting him players and was given another year to hire a competent OC, I truly think he would've been good. Instead, he got stuck with a horrible roster that underwent a rash of injuries, and an OC who wanted to create a WCO with losers like Conklin at QB. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Full Monty Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Marty Schottenheimer would've taken us to the playoffs the next year. He had Lavar playing like an animal, we had the 10th ranked defense, and Stephen Davis still had two good years left in him, we coulda rode him deep into the playoffs. Nobody wanted to play us in the 2nd half of the year. Nobody. We were that physical and that pissed off at the world. If stupid Brad Maynard hadn't thrown a TD to Urlacher, we win that game even and make the playoffs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posse81 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Spurrier--only because he was pretty funny. Late in the second season he was still talking about Osaka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Prime Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Why would I have a favorite? none of them produced consistantly although I believe if Marty was given three years instead of booting him for Spurrier, I'm sure he'd be my favorite, I'm also sure we'd have been in the play off's atleast once if not twice. I honestly believe he was getting this team turned around.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Baugh Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I would have to go with Marty then Steve. Marty, I feel, would have gotten it done eventually. I hated to watch Steve on TV but I still think he can coach. Even Gibbs said it is a different ballgame. Spurrier may have gotten it right. I know Joe will!

SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Marty. He was starting to turn the ship around and him quitting set that back by about 4-5 years. However Joe is here so it was destiny for him to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLANTASKINSFAN Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I would have to go with Norv Turner. The only thing I hated with Norv was his post game press conference. However he was the last to take us to the playoffs. I still think Norv is a good play caller and a good offensive coach. I am not sure of his motivational abilities however. If Oaklands D plays half way decent I look for Norv having a really good year. :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLusby Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Ideally Marty w/Spurrier as his OC. Marty ball was one notch above H.S. football. I could not stand the ten plays he ran; although, Banks had one of the best play-action-fakes I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsNut73 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Marty. Turner was a former Cowboy. We should never allow former Cowboys the privilege of being associated with the Redskin franchise - ever. Spurrier...well, the Spurrier years were just to painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Complete Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Even though he sucked, almost got Ramsey killed and quit like a coward, I really like SOS. Man when I watched that preseason game in Osaka and the game against the Jets I thougt we were playoff bound for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone got a raw deal, it was Pettibone. If I'm not mistaken in addition to injuries, we also had a few players retire and I think that was the first year of the salary cap. ...It's all water under the bridge now.
