Sometimes, it is for the best when things do not work out.
Two weeks ago, Norv Turner was passed over for the head coaching job with the Dallas Cowboys. Jerry Jones decided to go with a defensive-oriented coach, and chose Wade Phillips. Turner went back to San Francisco, and signed a one-year extension to remain the offensive coordinator with the 49ers.
But, the earth shook last week in San Diego, and Marty Schottenheimer was fired after a 14-2 season. The Chargers, loaded for a Super Bowl run, hired Turner as their head coach today.
Today, Norv Turner is glad that Jerry Jones passed him over. He now has a legitimate chance to make it to a Super Bowl. He's already worked with owners Dan Snyder and Al Davis, so whatever he runs into in San Diego will be a piece of cake. He also won't have Jerry Jones making football decisions for him.
Norv Turner gets to live in sunny San Diego, and gets to coach a good team. Good for him.

How freakin' elated is Norv today that he didn't get the cowboy's job! LOL!
Norv is a lucky man.
He has proven that he really doesn't care if management tries to get in the way. But, they've built a good team in San Diego, and they had nothing in Washington or Oakland.
Plus, he gets to live in San Diego, and doesn't have to work for Jerry!
