Scapegoat. LOVE Norv....they'll be screwed now. Feel bad for Zim...he can't fix that broke Oline.

Interesting if true. Bradford is a more of a West Coast player, not a Coryell type, which fits Turner more. Probably wanted Shurmur more involved, so it is understandable

They are in deep trouble with the personnel.

Bad luck with injuries, but also schmatically they will need to go with a shorter pass game to survive. That would not have necessarily been in Turner's wheelhouse .
 
The Vikings don't have a QB. They had a crappy one with Teddy Bridgewater and now they are down to worse than that.
 
Norv's day has come and gone, if he resigned he's probably ready to retire.

Bradford was playing real good but the Viking's OL is more of a problem than him. He had little chance the other night. As for Bridewater he showed development from years one and two, he's far from a crappy QB. He led the Vikings to an 11-5 record last season.
 
Good luck to Norv. If he wants to continue coaching, he'll have a line of teams looking to hire him.
 
Vikings last three drafts, first three picks.

2016 WR (not a starter) CB no pick 3rd rd.
2015 CB LB DE
2014 LB QB out forever? DE
2013 DT CB WR (not a starter)

They chose to build their defense. Then Bridgewater and Peterson go down, both WR's they drafted aren't starter material.
 
Zimmer said in his press conference today that he was surprised by Norv's resignation, so I don't think this was a rift between Zimmer and Norv. He wouldn't go into details but he said that Norv came to him and said it was best for him, personally.
