9ersdude Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Does this prove that the 49ers are headed in the right direction or is it a mistake. I have my opinion but I want yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bier Meister Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 norv is typically good for rb's and bad for wr's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I don't like Norv Turner as an offensive coordinator. When he was here in Dallas he was calling plays for a team with what may have been one of the best O-Lines in history. Load left and run Emmitt there ... try and stop us. However, when the O-Line began to age Norv's lack of originality and creativity began to show and the Dallas offense became way too predictable and stoppable. Clearly he is not head coach material either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinersIn2006! Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I LOVE the hire...the guy sucks as a head coach, but is a good O-coordinator...I think he will be great for Alex's development... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantasy Jesus Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Good news for SF RB's. He ran both Emmit and Ricky into the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackass Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 sweet. hopefully this means a few 20 TD seasons for Gore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattsass Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Considering the 49ers current state, I think it's good to bring in a guy with as much experience as Norv. But how long has it been since his presence has really made a difference in the win/loss column? (crickets chirping) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Pimp Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Good for RB's on a good team maybe, but when the team is 20 points down, will the RB's even get the ball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vatican Hitsquad Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 This is great news for 31 other teams. Norv's record as a head coach, 2 teams-9 years: 58- 82-1; 1 playoff appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was hired to be an O-coordinator, where he has had success in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a 49ers fan so his success or lack thereof will have minimal impact on me personally. The real problem for them is the lack of talent, but Turner should be able to help.

NinersIn2006! Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Hey Niners, ended up 3rd in one league, 2nd in another. How about you? 1272234[/snapback] I ended up 3rd in my head to head league that ended with the regular season...not bad considering I had like the third lowest overall scoring team, but just seemed to always play the right teams at the right time to sneak into the playoffs... I'm in a cummulative league that runs through the Super Bowl, which I am in second in currently, but going to have a hard time to hang on to. I had alot of Giants, Colts, and Patriots, so the playoffs have been rough on me. Only "player" I have left is Carolina's defense, while the guy who is chasing me as Big Ben, Hines, and Lelie left...hopefully I can hold him off!

Grits and Shins Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 (edited) When was the last time Norv Turner was a successful OC without the benefit of an awesome line and great RB? He is unimaginative and not creative ... load left ... that's what he's got ... if you got an offensive line and a RB that can execute that play then your set.

Still, IMHO worth a shot. They can only go up from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
