Norv Turner not looking so hot today (senior bowl)

[JBS]

The South's offense in the 1st half has been shut out and completely shut down. Not a good performance for the Turner supporters. The south is having an incredibly difficult time even picking up a first down. As it stands right now North 20 South 0.

 

[Hunter71]

I thought he was an offensive genius like so many people here say he is?...

 

[MetalHead]

Let's see:

He is coaching a team full of players he has NEVER met and in a week's time he is supposed to get that same bunch(who,oh by the way,NEVER played together)to run his offense like the 92 Cowboys?

C'mon people,thats ridiculous.

 

[JBS]

Gruden and his staff dont appear to be having as much difficulty.

 

[Hunter71]

Ha ha ha...

Always an excuse for Turner...

Al Davis, Snyder, college kids....

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Well...I think I have made no mistake that I am not happy with the idea of Norv becoming (if rumors are true) the next head coach of the cowboys.

But this is a college game with players they have had one week to practice with.

Not exactly something one could blame on the coach here.

Aren't the defensive coaches for the opposition under the same circumstances?

I can't say that this really means anything but he should at least be able to make something happen.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

when has Norv ever looked hot?

have to go back to '93

 

[parchy]

Ha ha ha...

Al Davis, Snyder, college kids....

How is this NOT a valid excuse? He's spent a week with these kids, all of whom are trying to make themselves look good.

I'm not saying Turner is a good hire, because I actually don't think he would be, but to blame this performance on him and use this as evidence is about the dumbest thing ever.

 

[Hunter71]

Like everyone else has suggested, the other teams not having any problems...

Just a bad coincidence I guess...

 

[DipChit]

Well seriously.. I dont want Norv as HC either..

But c'mon.. to try and use this game as any proof of why not is kind of silly.

 

[kingwhicker]

when has Norv ever looked hot?

have to go back to '93

God, that sounds so long ago now.

 

[Hunter71]

Relax...

It's a coincidence...

We're just having some fun here...

And trust me, I've debated all day why he would be a horrible HC and it's got nothing to do with the fact that he can't even get some college kids to buy into what he's selling...

 

[Thick 'N Hearty]

It's not like Norv hasn't had any other distrctions this week. Give him a break guys.

 

[ndanger]

Gruden and his staff dont appear to be having as much difficulty.

Uhm.....maybe the north has better players than the south? Wow what a concept.

 

[Woods]

The reason Norv isn't doing all that well today is because his mind is wandering elsewhere . . . . like coaching the DC this season

 

[bbgun]

I look forward to Norv teaching Roy how to cover.

 

[Billy Bullocks]

Aren't the defensive coaches for the opposition under the same circumstances?

I can't say that this really means anything but he should at least be able to make something happen.

Alot easier to play defense on instincts than offense. I highly doubt they are playing any intriquite schemes. Defensively it's more 1 on 1 matchup type situations.

 

[iceberg]

I thought he was an offensive genius like so many people here say he is?...

oh good god - assemble a team in a week and you get what you get. i'm lukewarm to neutral on norv but all you whiners that use ANY example to further your point make it hard to take you seriously anymore.

Now please shut up.... I cant believe some of you actually would post a topic this stupid and then some of you would actually agree with the guy.

Give me a break.

Now all of a sudden the guy cant call plays.
