Trigger for Hiring Norv

[mc52beast]

I think Ron and Marty knew they wouldn’t have JR around to tell them “losing is ok” so they did what should’ve been done earlier

Norv Turners don’t grow on trees.

Rivera had grown tired of Shula and had been for quite some time but couldn't do much about it until Gettleman was gone. The fact that Gettleman was so eager to hire him in  New York leads me to believe there must be something to those rumors.

GM's don't typically hire coordinators, that's the HC's job.

DG has said in the past he doesn't want to get in the middle of that.

I'm not sure that you are grasping the amount of knowledge a player would have on a coaching staff and players after 4 years.

Middle Linebacker is the quarterback of the defense, particularly the Panthers defense. Agree or disagree? 

I'm not sure that you are grasping just how smart Sean Payton and Co. are.

Did we carry over an existing defensive coordinator or did we change from their time here?

Again, were it the Raiders before an opening day...sure, there is a lot of info that can be gleaned, a division rival with a great HC...nah, not that much, IMO.

But we can agree to disagree, surprising as that sounds, it still does actually happen in 2018.

What difference does it make who the team is? I'm fairly certain there are post games notes showing Klein was calling out almost all of our plays in the first game.

If it helps a non-division opponent, it's going to help a division opponent.

The thing that im looking forward to with Norv is no more wasted timeouts because the play came in too late. 

That right there drove me more bats**t than Cam hanging on to the ball forever.

Rivera has wanted Norv as his OC the whole time he has been a coach. Can't really fire shula after 2015. needed a so so season to do it.

maybe it was the threat of the "fire shula" plane banner that got mysteriously shut down
