NORV TURNER RUMORS & GOSSIP

Chargers have “no immediate plans” to add another running back

According to the Union-Tribune San Diego, the Chargers have “no immediate plans” to add another running back. The Chargers lost backup Mike Tolbert in free agency this offseason and did not add another veteran back to replace him.

Chargers’ Norv Turner thinks Ryan Mathews could lead league in rushing

In an interview with the San Diego Union-Tribune, Chargers Head Coach Norv Turner said that he believes Ryan Mathews could lead the league in rushing.

The San Diego Chargers have not made it to the playoffs since the 2009 NFL season.  This will be A.J. Smith‘s 10th season as general manager of the Chargers and Norv Turner‘s sixth season as the team’s head coach.  Turner was a questionable hire by Smith to say the least since he had a 58-82-1 record in nine combined seasons as head coach of the Washington Redskins...

Super Bowl or bust for A.J. Smith and Norv Turner

The San Diego Chargers have a 17-15 record over the last two seasons.  San Diego has not made the playoffs since the 2009 season and has not won a playoff game since the 2008 NFL season.  This will be A.J. Smith‘s 10th season as general manager and Norv Turner‘s sixth season as head coach.  I think it is safe to say that Chargers fans were shocked when the organization...

Why the Chargers are again primed for mediocrity in 2012

Chargers fighting for playoffs, Norv Turner

Norv Turner was done. The San Diego Chargers' GM, A.J. Smith, was right behind. They're the kind of reports you expect to surface during a six-game losing streak.

Perhaps maybe until after a Chargers playoff...
