"The way he performed this year speaks to how valuable he is to our team," Turner said. "From a coaching standpoint, I'd love to have him here.

Wed, 04 Jan 2012 05:42:04 -0800 San Diego Chargers owner and president Dean Spanos said fans have not given head coach Norv Turner a chance since he was hired in 2007.

Albeit we have fallen off and we are in the middle right now, we are not the dreads of the league."

He has long been a believer in Turner and credits Smith with the bulk of the decisions that have shaped the franchise into a perennial contender.

Fri, 04 Nov 2011 04:47:57 -0700 San Diego Chargers OT Brandyn Dombrowski is practicing at both left guard and left tackle this week. "He is prepared to play (both)," head coach Norv Turner said. Last week, Dombrowski primarily practiced at left to back up OT Marcus McNeill (neck).

"Well, I think I would have had a couple of rings," Ryan said with a laugh. "I'm telling you, those teams were loaded. There's no question about it. But things happen for a reason. Obviously, Norv Turner has done a great job there, and A.J. (Smith) and everybody. That's a great franchise, and he's probably the best guy for the job at that time." Ryan later called Turner to clarify his remarks, according to a Jets spokesman. Turner, addressing the situation, fired back at Ryan after confirming that the Jets coach had called. "I hadn't seen his quote and I was a little bit surprised by the call, and after I saw the quote I didn't have the chance to ask him this, but I was wondering if he had those rings with the ones he's guaranteed the last couple of years," Turner said.

"It starts with the players," head coach Norv Turner said. "But I give a lot of credit to our coaching staff for getting that done."
Thu, 06 Oct 2011 06:57:26 -0700 The San Diego Chargers' defense has improved on third down this season. Last season, they were ranked 29th for third-down stops. Currently, they are ranked 10th with a 43.3 percent (19 of 44) conversion rate on third down. "We are getting better," head coach Norv Turner said.

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 04:41:44 -0700 San Diego Chargers head coach Norv Turner said he wants to have a balanced offense this season, even though the team has aired the football out the last two seasons, according to The Associated Press. "When we played at our best, we had balance," Turner said. "We just want to have balance consistently. But if we get one of those teams, which we're going to get, that sit up there and play eight, nine guys up there, and dare you to pass, I think people know we're willing to throw it."
Sun, 29 Aug 2010 17:40:44 -0700 The San Diego Chargers will experiment with shuffling players along the defensive line based on situation, reports Scott Bair, of the North County Times. Head coach Norv Turner said, "We'll rotate guys in and on first down, I think you'll see our bigger guys that will help us defend the run. That will work against teams that try to come in and overpower you. Then in second-and-long, third-down situations, you'll see that faster guys in there."
Mon, 24 May 2010 04:47:37 -0700 San Diego Chargers head coach Norv Turner said he wants to run the football more in 2010, according to Nick Canepa, of the San Diego Union-Tribune. Last season, the Chargers were more geared towards the pass because they had difficulty running the football. "You've got to do what's best, and I believe we know this team better than most," Turner said. "My first year here, LT led the league in rushing and we had good balance. With last year's team going the way it did, we had a productive passing quarterback (QB Philip Rivers) who led the league in 20-yard-plus plays. You have to give your team the best opportunity to win. As we got going last year, we had some games with balance; some games we didn't have balance and still won."
