Former head coach of the , Norv Turner found himself a new job this week, moving across the Bay to sign with the San Francisco 49ers as their offensive coordinator. The signing allowed 49ers head coach Mike Nolan to keep to his word of signing a coordinator prior to the Senior Bowl – where the Steelers 36 Bettis Jersey
49ers coaching staff will lead one of the collegiate teams. Turner will be at the Senior Bowl as well, as the latest member to the 49ers coaching staff he wants to build chemistry as fast as possible, so despite Nolan giving Turner permission to skip the Bowl, he will indeed be there working along side the rest of the coaching team.Turner has bounced around the league plenty. He's been a coordinator for Cowboys during two of their Super Bowl victories, the head coach of the Redskins where ironically enough Mike Nolan worked under him. He was also the coordinator for the Chargers and Dolphins, then head coach of the Raiders, and now he is once again a coordinator, this time for the San Francisco 49ers. Talk about having nine lives.The BetterTurner brings a plethora of experience from his position and has worked successfully with quarterbacks like Troy Aikman, Trent Green, Doug Flutie and others. Turner has had most of his success in the coordinator role not as a head coach.Turner and Nolan have a good working relationship.Turner is regarded as a bright offensive mind.Turner appears to be committed to the organization for some time, which will be critical as the team develops a young group of players – most notably quarterback Alex Smith.Turner typically develops an offensive system around the abilities of his players, he does not expect players to fit into ‘his system' he expects ‘his system' to be altered to fit the players.The Worse Although Turner has had success with quarterbacks he really has only had a hand in developing Troy Aikman, and arguably Trent Green.Turner's success in Dallas which he used as a spring board for the rest of his coaching career may have had more to do with Jimmy Johnson the then head coach of the Cowboys, or Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Michael Irvin's abilities, than Turner's offensive ingenuity. Turner is not a West Coast Offense, offensive mind. So while Turner may fit some of those tendencies into the system he will run with the 49ers, we may not see the type of offense that defines the 49ers.Although Turner will work to mitigate the adaptations Alex Smith will have to make, Turner is bringing some of his own terminology to the 49ers which will no doubt slow the development of Smith.Overall, this is one coaching change that we will just have to see play out. The 49ers' hands were forced when Mike McCarthy took the head coaching role of the Packers, Nolan hopes he has improved the team 4 Brett Favre Purple jersey
by replacing McCarthy with Turner. I am not convinced this was the right man for the job, then again, I do not think he was the wrong man either. As can be seen above there are plenty of pros and cons so it will be a matter of time before I am convinced one way or the other.For all the latest news and resources about the 49ers
