It would behoove the Jets to land someone with experience calling plays in the NFL, and someone who can develop a quarterback for our team. I vote for Norv Turner.
Why would Norv go to a team where the HC is on the hot seat and he'll probably be gone in a year anyway?
I would like Norv here but the consensus is that he won't come to the Jets because there is no future. He probably should just take the year off and come to the jets as HC when TB is fired next year. Please no Chip Kelly, he needs to go back to college football.
Anthony lynn will get the bills h.c. job. No one else will want it knowing the g.m. is on a very hot seat and could be gone next year. I think its McCoy, could be his fastest route to another h.c. interview Norv probably wants more stability since he seems to have accepted he is not an h.c.
Because he can make that seat cool. Norv would help diagnose the Jets quarterback situation as we head into the draft. Perhaps Deashaun Watson could be our Russell Wilson/Dak Prescott. Money helps too.
Nix my McCoy post Norv is the Man Had Vikes rolling before his issue with Zimmer Will convince TB only way to save jobs is thru him
It was in week 6 or 7, there was no real explanation for it from what i understand. He probably saw the writing on the wall for the Vikings and knew the outcome of that teams shortcomings and probably wanted no part of it.
Darksider theory Bowles hires Mike McCoy. Hackenberg and McCoy work great together but the defense doesn't improve and Bowles is canned, McCoy is promoted to Head Coach similar to what just happened in Tampa between Lovie Smith, Dirk Koetter and Jameis Winston. McCoy then hires a proven defensive mastermind to run the defense and his name is Wade Phillips. Phillips joins the staff in 2018 to coach up some of the young studs.
short of Bill O'brien becoming available, I'm hoping for Norv. not sure why Norv would want to take on this situation though....
If I were college coordinator or recently fired HC, I would look for a coordinator job with a HC on the hot seat because I'd probably be getting a HC interview in a year.
Mike Zimmer ended up losing his best resource on offense, look at what happened to that team. Tuner knows how to implement a balanced offense and he knows player development, that's why I would like him as jets OC. Norv Turner had a good reason for leaving the Vikings so abruptly The timing stinks, but in the end, the Vikings will be better off for it. By Ryan Van Bibber on December 1, 2016 8:29 pm He told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune: "... it just got to the point where I didn't think it was going to work with me. So I removed myself." Turner and head coach Mike Zimmer disagreed on the best way to run the offense, according to Albert Breer of The MMQB. It wasn't a huge rift, but they couldn't come to terms on the margins of it, the details of the offensive system that needed to be changed in order to better protect the quarterback, get the running game going again, and score more than 20 points a game. "We had a lot of challenges," Turner told Breer. "And for a period of time, we were able to hide some problems we had, but it catches up to you. And then we just had a difference of opinion—or what I felt was a difference of opinion—on what we needed to do to give our guys the best chance to fix it." Turner reiterated that point in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. On the surface, it looks like Turner handled this in a reasonable, sane way. You could make the case that it's better for the Vikings that he leaves now to than to let the disagreement fester and turn ugly. On the other hand, why couldn't he just adapt and stick it out through the end of the season? At the time, Turner said he hadn't made a decision on whether or not he'd coach again -- he's only 64. Since then, he's made it clear that he would like to continue under the right circumstances. "I just enjoy it too much," Turner told ESPN. "I really enjoy teaching the players." And what are the right circumstances? He wants to coach a team where he has the chance to mold a young quarterback. Where exactly would that be? Los Angeles invested a ton of draft capital in Jared Goff, and his career's already off to a slow start. If the Rams opt to keep Jeff Fisher, you have to wonder if he could he bring in Turner and let him run the offense however he wants. Or, if Fisher gets fired, maybe the prospect of Turner as head coach could force the Rams to give him a look.
I don't really care about him leaving the Vikings, except for the fact that he is lying about it, he left because they brought in Shurmur and Norv wanted to pass the torch to his son Scott, instead and he saw the writing on the wall. - but really though I think he would be a horrible choice to bring in here for a couple reasons. First I don't think his offense is good anymore, the guy has done the same thing since 1991, the league is onto him. He hasn't had a top 15 scoring offense in like 6 years and before that he only had one because he inherited a stacked San Diego team that he ruined offensively. But the biggest reason of all I don't want him is because its a horrible fit schematically!!!!! He might be the league's current, lasting grandfather of the Coryell system and this offense could not be more diametrically opposed in terms of personnel for that system. In order for Turner's (Coryell's) system to work you need 4 key ingredients: 1) A big WR to stretch the field (okay, maybe we have that) 2) Good Offensive line (NOPE) 3) ability to run a power running game (NOPE) 4) a very good pass catching TE (uhhh whats a tight end???!?!?) Turner also doesn't adjust much to existing personnel, he's a big system guy - - his system. So he'd come in here, confuse the hell out of the players with his complex system, get our QBs killed with his offense that asks a lot out of the offensive line, throw 15 passes a game to Brandon Bostick, and we'd be a terrible football team because of all that. They would fire Bowles because of that lack of success and be looking at a new HC/OC combo after the year!!!
Turner milked a lucrative career out of 2 seasons with the Cowboys. What has he done since 1993? To get the right guy you have to be determined: Ron
