The 50 Worst NFL Head Coaches of All Time | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Speaking of wasting talent, has anyone ever wasted more of it than Norv Turner? It's hard to imagine the head coach who has.

Turner is a fine offensive coordinator, but he simply cannot win as a head coach. His reputation for offensive expertise came from winning two Super Bowls running the Dallas Cowboys offense in 1992 and 1993.

That took Turner to, of all places, the Washington Redskins. His first pick was quarterback Heath Shuler. That was disaster No. 1 during a prolonged spell of misery in Washington.

Turner had three losing seasons out of his first five in D.C.

He eventually made the playoffs in 1999 after managing to assemble a talented offense. Sadly, that team was broken up thanks to owner Dan Snyder's meddling. However, that didn't excuse Turner's overall 49-59-1 record with the Redskins.

In 2004, Turner took over the Oakland Raiders and won only nine games in two seasons. Somehow he managed to bounce back and was put in charge of the San Diego Chargers in 2007.

He has had players like Philip Rivers, Antonio Gates, LaDainian Tomlinson and Vincent Jackson. Yet Turner has only taken the Chargers to the playoffs three times.

The first time, they made it to the AFC championship game. The next year, they beat the Indianapolis Colts in the playoffs after sneaking in as an 8-8 team. A 13-3 finish in 2009 was marred by losing their opening playoff game to the New York Jets.

Turner and the Chargers have not been back to the playoffs since. He is set to be fired at the end of this season, according to U-T San Diego.

Were it not for the weak AFC West and his four career division titles, Turner would be a lot higher on this list.
