Think he’ll get the Norv Turner third shot at a head coaching job?

No, I think he’s done.

Turner was hired only because San Diego needed to get as close to continuity as possible, and Norv Turner runs the same basic offense as Cam Cameron. That’s the only reason Turner is HC right now. But it’s not working, and barring a turnaround, Turner is gone. He should have stayed in San Francisco and recognized his limits: he’s a great OC, but a mediocre-at-best HC.

Wannstedt, by comparison, just rode Jimmy Johnson’s coattails to success, and then shot himself in the foot. He’s done. I’m surprised he was hired by Pitt. They must’ve been desperate for a guy who can’t scout talent and doesn’t play to win.
