Chargers announce extension for Norv Turner

[Kevin Greene]

As an apparent reward for Sunday's throwback to Martyball, Chargers coach Norv Turner has received a three-year contract extension.

The team announced the new deal on Monday night.

"I'm extremely proud of the job Norv has done with this team," team president Dean Spanos in a statement issued by the team. "In three seasons he's led the team to three division titles. I'm confident that if we strengthen our roster and continue to provide Norv the assets he needs, this team will have continued success."

Or maybe -- just maybe -- Norv and G.M. A.J. Smith have taken this team as far as they ever can or will, and maybe the time has come to find a coach and a front-office chief who can push this franchise over the top.

Wow, when you complain about Fox...hell, it could be Norv Turner. I just may like Fox better.

They're kinda the same honestly. Same bullshit loyalty to players that are clearly past their prime(LT).

Did anybody see TMZ they had 2 Charger players at a Na bu rest. wearing there Chargers jersey and talking trash about Sanchez.....very douchey.

[OneBadassCat]

Honestly I support this move. It's a nice show of some faith. It's only his first season.

[GSO_Pantherz]

Sanchez does in fact suck. I haven't seen anything from him that indicates he will be a good quarterback. I think he has the potential to be a Trent Dilfer or someone along those lines.

Third actually. He was hired in 07.

Remember he started last season with that ill-advised quote about "their 45 being better than our 45" :sosp:

Yeah...they fire the good guy and keep the bad guy. Fail SD...Fail.

Oh poo where have I been.

[Jangler]

But if he had gone 14-2 and lost in the playoffs, then that would have been crossing the line.

at least norv gets to the playoffs consistently, and his bullshit loyalty is for LT, one of the greatest RBs of all time, while fox has bullshit loyalty to... Jake Delhomme

Norv Turner is Mike Martz with that team, ya know whatta mean? Inherited talent but knows not what to do with it.

[Kyle82]

Maybe they can go 14-2 next year and lose in the first round.

Sorta the problem we have as well. Except we acquire talent, but still don't know what to do with it.

Still, I'll take 3 division titles and some playoff wins over Fox's crap anyday.
