    Bernie Kosar audibled his nuts off. It never won him anything.

    The one time he SHOULD have audibled is when the Browns won the toss in the DRIVE overtime game. Instead of going for the juggular, he played afraid. The films show Denver players jumping for joy when they saw Kosar running teh offense. " he's playing not to lose, he's playing not to lose".

    Denver knew thay had Blosar beat right then and there.

    Audibles are over rated.

    So, we get it. Bernie didn't succeed to the max when we all wish he would have. He and the coaches and all the rest of the team didn't get it done.

    But without Kosar we would have never had a chance to hardly get that far.

    I suppose you prefer these days of 4-12 and 5-11 and changing QBs every year?

    Give me a Kosar like QB any day over this crap.

    I don't know Ghoolie, sometime I think you would prefer to smell shit over roses.

      He's a crappy HC. Hopefully, if he is here, he will be competent at OC.

      People in many cases reach their level of incompetence. Norv reached his as a HC. As a OC, he is very competent.

      The Peter Principle? You have a person who is highly qualified and competent at doing a certain job at a certain level....so you promote to a job that is above his competency level and at which he has no chance to succeed.

      The NFL is the perfect incubator of the Peter Principle.

      I mean, you have your Bud Carson's and Dick LeBeaus and Norv Turners? etc. who are incredible/outstanding as coordinators or asst. coaches....but when you make them a HC, they are a flop.

      And sometimes you find the gem that comes from even further down on the corporate hierarchy that becomes outstanding at the "CEO" position.

      Like Bill Cowher going essentially from a special teams coach to Head Coach.

      Other examples?

        All of these reports with the wording "is expected to hire" or "could hire" are out of control already. With the advent of the internet and social media like twitter reporters think (and seemingly can) get away with saying anything with little or no support behind it. They give a story a half assed guess and throw it out there with the hopes that they guessed right and "broke the story". It sucks and I am sick of it already.

          Mary Kay is tweeting Norv's in Hawaii with his family and will be named OC when he returns.

          Adam Schefter's reporting we're targeting SD's defensive coordinator John Pagano.

            Agreed. All this stuff now is rumor and, in many cases, flat out gossip. We'll see what happens when moves become official.

              "Chudzinski is expected to hire Turner's son, Scott, an offensive assistant for the Panthers. " I heard that on ESPN per Adam Schefter and how it makes the Norv hire THAT much more likely.

                Apparently Mrs. Turner is going to be running ticket sales and the Charger's old equipment boy will the new GM.

                    I think Norv is a quality OC and a horrible head coach..

                    My only problem is when Banner and Haslam came in they said they were looking for a head coach who would be able to hire talented guys to his staff, not HIS guys.. Since he has tied to Norv in SD, the same thing that all coaches do...

                      There is a reason they do that. You hire people whom you know and know will do a good job.

                      I like the fact he is going to have some people who he already has established a comfort factor.

                      If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.
