SkinsFTW Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Spurrier was worse but Norv was by far the worst experience for fans of the team. He should have been canned after 96. How do you start 7-1, lose nobody to injury that I remember, and miss the playoffs? Losing that Boomer Esiason Cardinals game in the process. Then they go and start 0-7 in 1998 and he still wasn't fired. WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illone Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Norv was worse because he was a cowboy beforehand to top it all off:doh:. I never hated spurrier too much because of all the loot he won me in college while at UF. He was in the wrong field, he knew it, and stepped down. Can't fault the guy too much for giving it a shot. Plus as skins fans we can get the last laugh because he is now getting his butt kicked year in and year out from the same team he left to take the Skins job. Spurrier, point and laugh. Norv enherited a great team and is a contender every year with a great GM and one of the best personel departments in the NFL. I can't stand Norv. All the more reason why I will personally will the team to victory when I attend the SD game on January 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighOnHendrix Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Norv was long and drawn out torture, as we would continue to find ways to lose games. "These guys fought awful hard." The Norv years were way worse. Six out of seven seasons of failure and heartbreak compounded by aged Dallass rejects and "What we do here works" quotes from the coach. Don't forget "We did some good things today." Think I might've heard Spurrier use that one, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rook Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Spurrier - although he seemed not to care, I hold no ill will for the man. Norv - I still pull for him to blow it ... and he does. :helmet: The Rook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftCoast Skinz FAN Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 What made Spurrier bad for me is the fact that I am a huge Florida State fan. So for him to come to my favorite pro football team and destroy it like he did made it a thousand times worse. I hate Florida, hate Spurrier and I hate the fact that Danny Boy actually thought he could bring his Fun and Gun offense to the NFL and have success, what a bunch of Bull****!!!!!

Voice_of_Reason Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Norv coached for Dallas. Why anybody would hire any coach from Dallas is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ted Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 this choice is much like south park's dilemma: having to choose between a poop-sandwich and a d-bag I think Spurrier was worse, he brought annoying Gator fans to this board much like Colt brought all these annoying Hawaii fans He also brought in Danny Wuerffel, and never took being a nfl coach seriously. recall him making fun of jim haslett sleeping in his office?

In 1994, Norval's first year, the Redskins lost every home game, a feat that had never been accomplished and has not since In 1996 the Redskins opened the season 7-1 before finishing 2-6 and out of the playoffs. In 1998 the Redskins opened the season 0-7 and were never in the hunt. from http://curlyr.blogspot.com/2007/08/saga-of-norv-turner.html norv for the lead!!!

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I found the Spurrier Era entertaining. It felt like one long piece of performance art. I wouldn't be surprised if we later learn that "Steve Spurrier" was played by Sasha Bara Cohen. From a purely football standpoint, Norv's teams looked like football teams. They weren't terribly good, but it was just mediocrity. SOS's teams were like football combined with an acid trip. I'm not sure that team ever actually practiced the plays they ran.
