After winning two AFC West titles in three years and compiling an NFL-best regular-season mark of 14-2, Marty Schottenheimer was forced out. Enter Norv Turner, who is known for two things: being an offensive guru and a bust as an NFL head coach.
This will be Turner's third shot directing his own squad and the Chargers fans' fingers are crossed this time is the charm. In stints with the Redskins and Raiders, Turner's mark is 58-82-1.
The Chargers' brass is quick to point out those franchises produced teams not nearly as stout as the Chargers. And that assessment is right on.
Turner takes over a team that is loaded with talent on both sides of the ball. That said, Turner still needs to prove he can lead an entire team, and not just one aspect of it.
Turner, though, won't need any time making adjustments to the Chargers' high-powered offense, led by NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson. It was Turner, as the offensive coordinator, who installed the scheme back in 2001.
