Shotgunner Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Norv Turner is the new coach of the Raiders. Looks like a good match offensively. He should be able to score some points with that offense He was always a great OC. Can he be a good head coach this time around? What do you guys think.

Golgo-13 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Oh my goodness. Well, prepare for a few nice years of aggravating mediocrity, Oakland. Hope you had fun in the playoffs these past few years, 'cause it's over now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankRizzo Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Ahhh yes...he'll even have a bruiser to run three times up the gut on goal line for zero or loss of yards before he has to kick the field goal. I hope Janikowski doesn't miss any game winning field goals or he could be looking for work :laugh: It wouldn't be the first time Norv canned a pro bowl kicker :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReefa Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Ya, they're a good match...the Raiders blow and so does Turner! Escuse me while I marvel at my own wit... heh... Ok, back to the issue at hand. The Raiders managed to pull off the impossible last season by committing more penalties last season than the Redskins (or anyone else, for that matter). While I don't believe that some kind of fascist authoritarian like Coughlin or Schottenheimer is the appropriate solution to any problem, you do need someone who - how to put this? - demands a little more respect than Turner (images of Michael Westbrook costing this team a win by fligning his helmet to the ground are coming back to me). Fassel was out there - he's been to a Super Bowl. The Ravens look to be getting him as a QBs coach or offensive consultant or some other such nonsense. I will not ever understand this decision.

bulldog Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 the Raiders are facing a rebuilding project. I find it amazing that so many of their fans are talking about Norv in re whether he can take the team to the playoffs, etc... I see the Raiders being a 7-9 or 8-8 type team next season and that's with a good draft and getting an infusion of some youth at key spots. This team has 30-somethings all over the place. Both Jerry Rice (41) and Tim Brown (38) said in interviews recently they felt as if they had "years" left to contribute in Oakland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 In my humble opinion, the Raiders will lose 32 games in a row and Norval will be uncerimoniously dismissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankRizzo Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 well GrimReefa...it was kind of a marvin Lewis situation but worse. NO ONE wanted that job, Norv is DESPERATE...their hands were tied. There is no way Weis or Crennel would have gone to work with Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
