In my list of surprising developments from last week, I left off a big one: Norv Turner continued to score interviews for great jobs. His 58-82-1 career record hasn't hurt his stock around the league at all. In fact, he's been chosen to take over the most talented roster in the NFL. Norv Turner is your new coach of the San Diego Chargers.

Turner's shaky career mark provides an interesting contrast to Marty Schottenheimer's 200 career wins and .612 winning percentage. But Marty will be at home in 2007, while Turner gets the keys to a 14-2 team. I hesitate to call the Chargers the best job in football because the owner, GM, and stadium situation is shaky, despite all the talent on the roster.

While this is a much better gig than Oakland, there are some similarities. The Chargers roster had more arrests last season than any team except the Bengals. Turner's "treat them like adults" style didn't work with the wayward Raiders, and he could have trouble controlling these Chargers, now that they've tasted some success.

Turner is expected to hire another coaching veteran (or retread depending on your view), Ted Cottrell, to take over San Diego's loaded 3-4 defense. Cottrell and Turner have a unique opportunity to rehabilitate their careers or prove once and for all that they can't win.

From a strictly fantasy perspective, Turner's hire can work. He develops quarterbacks well, so Philip Rivers is in good hands. We'd rather see more stability with the coaching staff, but Turner's track record pumping out productive running games (look at Frank Gore this year) should ease the fears of LaDainian Tomlinson owners out there.

Turner is often cited as one of the nicest guys in the NFL, and perhaps that helps explain why he keeps getting so many opportunities. With a Super Bowl-ready roster at hand, Turner will be under pressure to win right away. If not, both he and GM A.J. Smith could be looking for work.
