Yeah, Turner is the guy who put the offense together for the Boyz big run.

From what the "experts" are saying, he's one of those guys born to be a coordinator, who just didn't have it to be a head coach in today's NFL.

He did a good job with the offenses in Dallas, Miami, and San Diego. A crap job as a HC in Wash. and Oak.

Fingers crossed.

Yeah... lots of coaches make great position coaches or coordinators, but not great head coaches.

Norv... I'd say the jury is still out on him. He worked for Dan Snyder in Washington and Al Davis in Oakland, who are the two most interfering owners possible, with the caveat of willing to spend money and wanting to win -- something that cannot be said about York the Dork.

Wonder what Marty Mornwhering (spelling?) and Steve Mariucci are doing these days, both of whom would be good OC's. Mariucci of course was fired by York the Dork, so wouldn't fit with the 49ers.



Cheers, :drink:

No discussions de Dork. Please. I'm trying to keep my off season rosey glow intact.

Re: Marty Mornhinweg (and yeah, I had to look up the spelling) hooked on with the Eagles. He's listed as their assistant Head Coach.

Mooch gets to sit back and collect 5 million dollars a year for the next two years... for doing nothing. I could live with that.

Re: Norv taking over. I wonder how many of the coaches are doing the palm slap to the forehead about the QB choice last year?

Now we have Turner, who favors pocket passers who can throw accurate fast balls down field. (a la Aaron Rodgers)

And McCarthy wants a guy who's more mobile. (Sorta like Smith)

Oh well... you place your bets...

Too many turnovers and a Bronco secondary that had more holes in it than a porcupines underwear makes me wish I weren't a betting man :bonk: If anybody needs me, I'll be discussing the meaning of life with a bottle of Sho Chiku Bai sake :beaten:

What an ugly game for the Broncos: Bad time to play sorry at home, just like the Colts did last week...

At least Seattle utilized their home-field advantage... I hope they win it all.

Go Seattle!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

A few of you have already said.... sooo who are the rest of you rooting for in this upcoming Super Bowl? As for me I finally figured out who is in this year's Super Bowl. :bonk: :hehe: Guess I'll choose the Pittsburgh Steelers as my fave. Now who is the safe musical guest or guests who will be leaving their tops on, for the half-time show this year? :hehe:

Truth be told I don't watch much of the Super Bowl halftime shows because the directors can't seem to figure out which camera shot to use so they wind up jumping all over the place. It is called 'not quite sure' cam! :hehe: Stick to football!!! :victory: :victory: :victory:

Instead of wasting all that money and effort on the halftime show, they should just show all of the Super Bowl commercials to the crowd and let them vote on which is the best one...

Good idea but if they did that then the fans at the game would not leave their seats and buy from the concession stand vendors. It's all about money!!!!! :bonk: :hehe:

So you're saying that the halftime show is meant to drive fans out of their seats??

Yes, now you got it!! :hehe: :hehe: Guess what???? This year's halftime show will be none other than The Rolling Stones!!!! :dancing: :dancing: :dancing: See:

The Super Bowl just got even bigger. Taking a quick break from their "A Bigger Bang" World Tour, the legendary Rolling Stones will perform in the Sprint Super Bowl XL Halftime Show on ABC at Ford Field in Detroit on Sunday, Feb. 5.

"We are thrilled to perform for millions of fans at one of the most exciting and highly anticipated sporting events of the year," said the Rolling Stones.

"We are excited to welcome one of the greatest rock n' roll bands in history to the Super Bowl," said Steve Bornstein, the NFL's executive vice president of media and president and CEO of NFL Network. "As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Super Bowl this season, it is fitting we work with The Rolling Stones whose music has thrilled audiences around the world for years."

"Sprint's sponsorship of the Super Bowl XL Halftime show highlights our commitment to fans of the NFL and the Rolling Stones," said Steve Gaffney, Sprint's director of sports marketing. "We're looking forward to providing fans the opportunity to participate in the halftime show like never before."


Uh - oh!!!! Fans participating???? :sweat: Does that mean drunken streakers running across the field at halftime? :nut: :drink: :twisted: :hehe:

From where I stand, the big fool is the one paying the $1800.
