matt castillo Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 With Chan Gailey retiring yesterday it leaves the New York Jets to find a new offensive mastermind to take the reins of a struggling offense. Immediately after New York Jets‘ offensive coordinator Chan Gailey retired, many names began to circulate for potential replacements. Names like Mike McCoy, the former San Diego Chargers head coach, John DeFilippo, the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback coach, who has done a nice job with first-year quarterback Carson Wentz, Chip Kelly, the San Francisco 49ers head coach have surfaced as candidates among many others. However, if there’s one thing this Jets’ organization needs the most, it’s someone who has seen it all. 64-year old Norv Turner is the best choice for the Jets because of the experience he brings to the table, as he has been coaching in the National Football League with the Cowboys, Redskins, Raiders, 49ers, Chargers, Browns and Vikings since 1985. Wisdom is not the only thing he brings to an organization as he has established himself a very successful play caller. Just look at the job he did in the early 90’s for the Dallas Cowboys during their glory days. Most recently Turner was the offensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings. He started there in 2014 where he did an exceptional job in the development process of the young Teddy Bridgewater. By 2015, Turner’s offense helped lead the Vikings to a division title. Turner resigned in week 8 this past season but the Vikings were sporting a 5-2 record. They finished off the year 3-6 following his departure. Now, he’s is expected to entertain quite a few offers from teams that are looking for someone to run their offense, so the Jets must move quickly to bring him in. He can help the Jets young quarterbacks like Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg or perhaps another quarterback the Jets may draft develop like he did for Teddy Bridgewater. Over the years the New York Jets have been through a handful of offensive coordinators and absolutely none of them have had success. The Jets need to bring in a guy like Turner who has had a history of being successful in running offenses. Also, quarterbacks seem to develop or excel in his play calling, which, unless you live under a rock, everyone could agree is an area the New York Jets could improve on.

Happy Clouds Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 After dumping the 65 year old Chan Gailey, Todd Bowles wants to inject some youth into the coaching staff, by bringing in 64 year old Norv Turner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klecko73isGod Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Seriously though, is Norv gonna have Aikman, Emmit, Johnston, Irvin, Novacek and possibly the greatest offensive line ever assembled at his disposal if he comes to the Jets? If so, I'd take him because that's the only time he ran an effective offense. That offense was so loaded Pac could have coached it and they would have won championships... and he sucks at everything!

I think Joe Theismann was talking about Norv Turner when he said, "I hate it when people call football coaches 'geniuses.' A football coach is not a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein."

varjet Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Bowles' Future is to become a CEO and hire coordinators who are fully functional. He should aspire to be a cross between Tomlin and Parcells. For HCs like, good coordinators can come and go. If Turner has life in him, he could be a good pick.

Jack Straw Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Norv Turner isn't moving his family to the east coast for a job where he'll be employed for 8 months. No coordinator with any real credentials is taking a job with a HC who's on the hot seat. The only people interested in this job will QB coaches who are desperate for a promotion.

Norv seems fairly old. Does he have a family to move? Maybe its just his wife who could enjoy a year in NYC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
