Now that Norv has been hired in San Diego....(doomed), it made me remember my first official rant/writing about the Skins.
Norv's Proudest Moment
Norv Turner
Washington Redskins Head Coach
1994-2000
Record 49-59-1
A man that was always on the hot seat
Some might have called him a play calling genius; others described him in words that are not appropriate to list. No matter what, Norv always broke the fan's hearts at ease. One fan said of Norv, "He was the scrooge of the Washington Redskins for eight fucking years... Thank God he is gone. Norv will also be missed greatly by the Washington Media who also knew Norv as "Mr. Excitement" because of his outrageous post-game press conferences. Norv was also praised for his great coach/player relationships that he was able to have while he was in Washington especially with his place kickers. "It's a sad day in NFL history today", said Redskins Special Teams coach Lee Charles McDaniel, "Turner should definitely be considered for the NFL Hall of Shame". The Washington Redskins announced that Turner's body will be cremated by team owner Daniel Snyder on a date still to be determined. NFL commentator John Madden on the cremation, "that's what happens when you have NONE Super Bowl rings". Turner's wife said, "Norv went peacefully", and his last words were, "We are a young football team, and we will learn a lot from this loss".
Thanks Norv for all the great memories, you will be missed by few.
