Unfortunately Norv is not done. There is no such thing as accountability with this franchise. Lost games early in the year because the gm was to stubborn to sign a much needed receiver and a much needed tackle hurt badly. Think Rivers could have used VJ down at the goal line against KC and SEA at the end of those games?
Norv and Wade P are similar in nature. Soft and lacking true leadership. Although they may be considered “tacticians” they are clearly not the stuff of sucessful head coach material. In football the talent level between most all of the players is pretty close save for the cream of the crop. There are plenty of great coordinators out there but not great coaches.
Final examination shows the true measure of coaches and gms in the records, especially playoff wins for coaches, and development of draft choices for gms. Draft choice development by the chargers is pathetic at best. Norvs record in the playoffs since he has been here:
2-1 – first year
1-1 – second year
0-1 – third year
did not qualify this year.
