Turner is from the Zampesi coaching tree and the magic of the passing game was what you see very little of today as Aikman pointed out on Sunday, the timing based pass game. That takes a very accurate QB with zip and touch, exact pass route running and complete trust between the QB and his WR's. Many times the ball is released before the receiver has even gone into his cut.
Back then, you'd see the ball come out from behind Aikman and it looked like a pick for sure until the WR, Irvin most of the time, made his cut in front of the DB. The reason Irvin pushed off to the point of the refs resurrecting the enforcement of the rule was to get to the receiving point on time.
Once that offense was installed and instilled, it could continue until that had to change out the players. Turner's best attribute to me was the inability of the DC's to play him. They'd go 8 in the box to stop Emmitt and Turner wouldn't always react to that and some of Emmitt's longest runs were against stacked boxes. His goal was to run the ball and he was very effective at using the pass to get that done.
But as good an OC as Turner was, and as good a DC as Wannstadt was, they could never recreate what they did with those teams because the talent level was never as good. That 92-95 team was the perfect storm of coaches and players, which is why if they'd won that 94 game against the Niners that would be considered the GOAT.
I wouldn't mind Norv replacing Garrett. Garrett only has the F word to use, Norv has the full compliment and is a cussing legend.
