As a staunch proponent of people being good at their jobs, this really rubs me the wrong way. There's this weird tradition in the NFL where you reward mediocrity, but forget success rather quickly. It's why we see Super Bowl-winning coaches get fired because they're at odds with the owner, a perennial playoff punching bags like Norv get extensions. And it sucks. It really does. Norv is brilliant in the regular season, imaginative in his play calling, and completely unable to prepare a team for the post season.
So, San Diegans, look forward to three more AFC West Championships, and exactly zero more Super Bowls. That's the way it'll always be with Norv.
All hail the Wet Blanket.
