Norv Turner: Winning When It Doesn't Matter

In typical San Diego Charger fashion, under head coach Norv Turner, the Chargers win...almost looking impressive doing it, against a team that cares less than the Chargers do.  That's the inspiration Norv Turner does bring to the table.  When your team is eliminated and the games no longer, he can somehow inspire these players who, seemingly, haven't cared about winning a football game in some time to finally pull together and win a game.  The Chargers last two wins have been on the road against teams that normally beat the Chargers when they come to their house...the Steelers and the Jets.  But the Jets are in total disarray with a multi-quarterback drama and that has trickled down throughout the team as a whole where no one on the Jets really seemed to take much interest in beating the lowly Chargers.

As I have said in the past, I don't really "cheer" for the Chargers to lose and am glad they are at least showing some pride.  But let's be honest here...winning the final two games is just dropping the Chargers further down the draft board...not that the draft is that big of a guarantee of future success either.  The point is really, that like previous two years, under Turner, and now this year, the Chargers seem to "finish strong" ... albeit meaningless.

This is just one more reason that there should not be even in full second of time elapsed from the conclusion of this weekend's game against the Raiders, regardless of the outcome, and word should ring out that Norv Turner is FIRED.  Any additional time only makes me more apprehensive.  In fact to help the play-by-play guy, he should have something similar to his prepared: "And the final from Qualcomm is Oakland 15, San Diego 38 and I've just been told that Norv Turner has been fired..."
