If anyone has experience with collapses and some occasional luck from the same football gods that continue to reward him with head coaching jobs, it's San Diego's Norv Turner.

Only five teams in the league had a better record than the Patriots in 2008, but you would have had a tough time finding anyone around NFL nation - outside of the greater New England area, |
