Did they just forget about what he did as the coach of the Redskins?

I look forward to the upcoming columns and commentaries about the lack of interest by the Chargers in hiring a minority coach.

Both teams did, the Cowboys interviewed at least 2.&nbsp; Norv Turner, I suppose he should send a thank you note to Troy Aikman.

This should work. Can't wait to play them next year with him in charge.&nbsp; It was questioned today on EEI that this is a move that they could easily opt out of becasue he's a repeat failure.&nbsp; That way next year they can start fresh when the newly fired coaches are available.

i think the talent of the team will outweigh his inabilities as a coach and make him look better than he really is, kinda like when he was on the cowboys

I wish I had the old sound bite played during Redskins pre games, after he was fired. All he says is &quot;I'm Coach Norv Turner&quot;, but the sound of his voice was the perfect audio description of the &quot;excitement&quot; he brought to the team.

<p>he's dopey</p><p>but dopey all the way to the bank</p>
