i see martz hitting the bricks, but even if they bolts dont make the playoffs, i dont know if they let turner go. turner is a great offensive mind and one of the better OC's in the league

and last night ESPN reports that the niners are going to offer Singletary a contract extension ... come on SI .... catch up to the rumor mill

This would probably work out well if Turner can get it in his head that he is not a good head coach. He has always had success as a coordinater. Its when he tries to be a head coach that he has always failed.

I HOPE THEY PASS ON BOTH AND GET SOMEONE ELSE ANYONE ELSE OR NO ONE

They need to try some thing new and different.Turner is neither,come on SF use you imagination and find real offensive coordinater like you did for your head coach I think you did a great job there.

Jctoo, cult elitist... Singletary they are going to offer the head coaching job and turner they are going to offer the offensive coordinater job...you need to catch up on your sports knowledge.

Actually Norv Turner is a very good choice for OC. Because that is what he is, he not a head coach. For all you young NFL fans or generation fantasy footballers, Norv Turner was the archietect for the Dallas Cowboys offense in the 90's, this is what he does best. And when he was the OC at SF a few years ago it was the only time Alex Smith looked like he had what it took to become a NFL QB. I still think Smith could be good, its not his fault he had 4 OC in 4 years, no one could thrive in that environment.
It really depends on who Coach Singletary wants....

That's a HUGE upgrade! Turner is AWFUL as a head coach anywhere, but he is great as a coordinator.

San Diego wins, goes deep into Playoffs..............loses by 1 point. Norv retires

Even if the friggin chargers win on Sunday... Norv Turner should be fired... No way in hell should the chargers have only 8 wins all year... Turner has shown he is one of the best coordinators around... As a head coach???... Not so much

Norv wil be fired even if the Chargers win the SB. He sucks and the team has only begun to play well because they have tuned him out.

i don't like hypothetical calculus and it's that time of the year

OK, Norv gets fired. Becomes Ambassador to Iran.........

Are there Coordinators that stick around for more than a year anymore? How they hell is an offense supposed to click if the schemes keep changing every year?

Regardless of what happens, Norv Turner should never, ever be an NFL head coach again.

Norv maybe a BETTER offensive coordinator he STINKS as a COACH everywhere he has GONE

Martz went to the Super Bowl as a head coach, Turner went as a coordinator and Singletary as a player. Who can say if Turner is a better offensive mind than Martz? In any case, the Bolts might make the tournament--it's too early to start worrying about his next job, especially when I'm worried about mine...

Norv is one of those guys that seems to be in that "no-mans land" between being too good to be just a coordinator and underwhelming to god-awful as a head coach. You can stick Cam Cameron, Martz, Crennel, Weis, and possibly Marvin Lewis and Wade Phillips (and several others) that I can't think of right now in that group, too. At some point, you have to realize that it's the person and not the circumstances that are the issue.

martz has it in his head that he should be the head coach of an NFL team.
