Norv Turner to return to Chargers

[ajk23az]

Owner Dean Spanos confirmed Monday night that Norv Turner will return as the Chargers' head coach in 2011.

GM A.J. Smith will also be back. "We have a good core, and I don’t care what anybody says," said Spanos. "I’m not afraid to make changes. If I thought it was warranted, I would do it. We have a good foundation here." Turner engineered two playoff wins in 2007, one in 2008, none in 2009, and missed the postseason in 2010. He is 40-23 in the regular season. The Chargers have a litany of key pending free agents for a second straight offseason, so Turner can expect some roster overhaul. Defensive coordinator Ron Rivera also seems certain to be a hot head-coaching candidate.

I think they're probably going to regret not going another direction when they look back in a couple of years.

Sounds familiar. Like another owner sticking with a coach toooo long.:wink3:

Definitely surprises me that Norv will be back with the Chargers again next year. He's always been a much better OC than HC. At some point you simply have to cut your losses and realize it didn't work out as planned and move on.
