I have a bad feeling if JG is let go, Norv may end up being our next HC. Or at least pursued by Jerry as one of the top choice if Norv ends up doing a good job with Cam. He is doing a good job so far. The CAR offense is currently 10th in points per drive. Since JJ thinks Dak is Cam lite, he might think Norv can turn him around and may tried to get him away from Carolina.

He'll be an upgrade over JG but I prefer we get someone who will not take any of JJ's crap. I don't think Norv will do that.

A guy who can work with Jerry and make use of a running QB.

He would be a big upgrade.

But I don't see Jerry going old at HC. Maybe Marinelli as interim. But Jerry wanted to leave Garrett as his legacy.

Tomorrow, #RodHCMooreOC. Jerry made an inexperienced QB coach an OC before.

I wonder if Rich Gannon would like to be a QB coach.

I like what Norv's doing in Carolina right now fully incorporating McCaffrey into that offense, but over the last 10+ years, he's shown to be a Wade-ish type of incompetent head coach and a pretty average coordinator.

Turner's last head coaching was with the late-2000s San Diego Chargers, where he was literally just handed a contender. He had probably the best RB room to ever play football, all in their primes, a HOF level quarterback in his prime, a HOF TE in his prime, a defense brimming with studs like Merriman and Cromartie and Jamal Williams - it was just like Wade's situation after he took over from Parcells but even better. And Norv couldn't do squat with them. To be fair, his first year was just bad luck when he had to face the '07 Patriots in the AFC championship. But for 4 or 5 years after that, it was just 9-7 seasons and early playoff exits while the roster disintegrated. He couldn't elevate his talent - heck he struggled to win in spite of his talent, and he completely wasted a wide open Super Bowl window.

If he can't take Phil Rivers and Antonio Gates to any better than 9-7, he's in for a hell of a time with Geoff Swaim and Dak Prescott. Norv's an old, turkey-necked man and at this point he is what he is - a decent OC and an awful HC. Garrett's terrible, but at this point, I'd rather have him over Norv. I seriously think the Clapper does a better job.

Dak will not be a Cowboy after this year, IMO unless he's playing backup which is unlikely.

I've been saying either Fisher or Holmgren for years....it will be one of those two. My money is on Holmgren.

IF Jerry makes the decision to finally cut JG. I'm not expecting him to bring in older guy. I'd expect a college hire, and knowing Jerry, I'd anticipate Jim Harbaugh being at the top of his list.
