EvilMonkeyBoy Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 http://forums.theganggreen.com/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=7336 According to JetMedic- I think Norv Turner will be given the HC job. The Dolphins have had trouble on O for a bit now and Norv is a very good OC and was an Offense-geared Head Coach. I think Norv was given a raw deal in Washington and never really had the pieces to work with, including SEVERAL big-time busts. Please, show this idiot the light, I have to go out to dinner.

glorydays Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 The Dolphins know full well why they KEPT Wandstat at the helm and Norv in his place, if you want to call it that. The fans will decimate his house, run him out of Miami and threaten to sue, if he tinkers with the Zach, Taylor and the gang. Won't happen. Griese will ask to be traded as soon as the contract runs out or even retire early. The fans would be Ine, ini, well they'd be pissed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimster Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 yea, raw deal - only got 7 seven years to do something and got fired for not doing it above average. how many times did Norv as a Head Coach go to the playoffs - once how many times has Wandstat taken the teams he has been head coach of to the play-offs? 4 I think...2 with Miami and 2 in Chicago.

fish Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 I think the quickest, easiest way to show our misinformed friend here, how wrong he is about Norval, would be to look at how the Dolphins' season ended last year. Now I might not have the EXACT details perfectly straight but it went something like this: The Fins had the lead and the ball with VERY little time left in the game (pretty sure it was within the 2 min warning). The Fins RB was having a pretty good day (well over 100 yds) and a pretty good season (over 2K yds I think). You might have heard of him. Anyway, the Fins have the ball deep in their own territory (within their 10 yd line I think). What does their OC call? 3 straight pass plays! The Patriots hadn't been able to stop Ricky all day, but with the game on the line the "supa-genius" Wylie Coyotee-esque (sp?) Offensive Coordinator calls 3 straight pass plays which result in a 4th down. The Dolphin punter shanked the subsequent punt, the Pats get the ball on the Dolphin 30 or so, score and win the game eliminating the Dolphins from the playoffs for the 1st time in quite a few years. Norv strikes AGAIN! There is a reason NOBODY has given him another opportunity. Now, forgive me if I don't have all the EXACT details straight. I was sitting my happy a$$ in the northern Kuwait at the time and only remember it because it was such a typical "Norv" move that I happened to read about. However, I think I captured the jist of what happened that day. Anybody with mo bettah details, please elaborate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsThug Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Norv's career stats vs. the Cardinals should be all the argument you need: 5 wins, 8 losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty dread Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Funny how this guy seems to think those busts weren't any of Norv's doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottb Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Norv Turner is one of a select few HC candidates that seems to be given considerations despite a documented past of incredible failure. I won't debate his merits as an OC since he does have an established reputation. It is apparently shaped like a shoe that wedges into HC doors that should be closed and locked to him. The other factor that seems to help him is he's a nice guy...and people want to give nice guys another shot. But he should have “caveat emptor” (let the buyer beware) tattooed on his forehead because Norv Turner is an inept HC. The only HC job he is qualified for is no longer available since Jerry Jones had decided to hire a real one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Hog Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 I think Norv was given a raw deal in Washington - 7 years; 6 more than Rich P. and never really had the pieces to work with- Because he couldn't draft worth $hit ! !including SEVERAL big-time busts. - See above...not to mention... the Bengals job is already taken. He can forget ever being a HC again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeSkin Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 I'm far too lazy to head over to Ganggreen, so I'll just throw my 2 cents in here. Norv is the current offensive coordinator. If they've been having trouble on offense for quite some time now with him at the helm, what makes this genius think the offense will fare any better with Norval as head coach?

NavyDave Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Maybe the Jest fans want Norval as the phins head coach so he can drag miami down and give the Jest a chance to finish second annually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeorama Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Turner might be a decent Offensive Coordinator, but he sucks as a head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eparadox Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Look, you give me Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Mikey Irvin, and Jay Novichek, and one of the NFL best OLines and I'd have a top 5 offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuskin Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 How did Norv even get to be OC? He calls play as if he WANTS to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
