Terrible move by San Diego.

I watched Norv run my Raiders into the ground. The guy is the least inspiring individual you can imagine. He just isn't the type of man that will get guys fired up to go out and hit. IMO the good coaches in this league have a presence, a charisma, a certain moxie... and Norv doesn't have it. The players lost respect for him in both D.C. and Oakland, and that is the worst thing that can happen to a head coach.

Marty Schottenheimer was fired over a power struggle. AJ Smith was looking for a lame duck coach that wouldn't question his personnel moves, and that's just what he got. Buyer Beware.

Anybody could have been a successful coordinator in Dallas with the triplets and that offensive line. I guess you could say he did well with Alex Smith, but it's hard to tell. The guy was the #1 overall pick so you know the physical talent was already there, and he only really performed at an average level this year.

As a Raiders fan, I love this move. Norv is good for at least 3 less wins than Schotty, who I wasn't a fan of either.
