Enough with the midget QBs.

[Jet27]

Norv Turner, the embattled Chargers coach, left the door open to taking an offensive coordinator position with another team if he is fired by San Diego (5-9) after the season. “People that know me, know I’m a coach,” Turner said. “I like to coach. I’d love to continue to coach, no question.”

Turner, 60, also said he has a solid relationship with Ryan, who may be in the market for a coordinator if Tony Sparano is fired. “I think Rex knows the respect I have for him,” Turner said.


Well it sounds like he is interested.....

Norv would be a great OC for us.........now we need to see what we have in GMAC.......my feeling is Vick will be here in 2013 with GMAC backing up.....hold on to your seats guys.........

If Jets dont get a high profile new GM, Rex stays. If they do he is 100% gone.
If Rex stays this is probably what Jets will do. Give the OC job to a proven OC and a veteran HC cause its obvious Rex just doesnt pay attention to the Offensive side of ball.
It would be like two Head Coaches. 1 for O, 1 for D, with Rex having the tiebreaker.

It's not that he doesn't pay attention.. he just doesn't know. He has a defensive mind. We need to bring someone in that knows offense and can take over. Someone serious.

You always have a HC who sits on one side of ball. But true HC's ,Chuck Noll, Lombardi, etc etc etc show ability to intervene or kick ass or bench folks when needed on other side of ball they are familiar with.
Rex IMHO gave too much authority to his OC's. I want a good OC but a STRONG HC who can intervene/over-ride when needed.

it'd rather have a defensive mastermind who doesn't know the offense than a jack of all trades master of none.

I dont disagree at all. I just want a HC who has balls to step in when things dont 'feel' right. I think Rex didnt want to step on assistants toes even though it was warranted.

Agree with that and it does go back to Rex, who hired Sparano. A strong move would be to admit the mistake and move on right away. For a while i think Rex was giving Sparano a chance to play himself out of the sand trap. Sanchez too. But it's time to pick up the ball, so to speak.

That's all well and good, but that was supposed to be the case with Sparano. He was a motivator and a guy that had been a head coach. There were tons of stories about his "control" in the spring and summer before he scored zero TDs in the preseason. We can hope that it was all on Sanchez. It's all we can do.

Well Sanchez is definitely a problem, thinking that the malaise of this entire team is because of him, would be whistling in the dark.

Funny you chose that phrasing. While Sanchez obviously isn't the cause of all our ills, I think he IS responsible for the malaise. Giving this team some life might go a long way towards righting the ship.

[bitonti]

if the Jets do move on from Sparano, the next OC will have to be some sort of QB guru (Andy Reid?). Because it doesn't look like sanchez is going anywhere.

That means we should finish 2-0. And..........just miss the playoffs.

So close to the SB is this team

Andy Reid is going to be a head coach. Count on that

Guru? I think sacrificing chickens in a pentagram of goat's blood is only hope if that's the case.

Rex has his loyalties, and damn it, Matt Cavanaugh must stay.

Regarding your scenario if Rex stays. exactly what would be different from today?

Norv Turner failure as head coach with talent to work with- sorry no way

I am all for shiitcannin Tony.

[#27TheDominator]

I am all for shiitcannin Tony.

So am I, but that is more because I hate him and most of what he stands for more than him not commanding the team like a former head coach. I think he probably fits that bill more than Norv.
