The San Diego Chargers signed head coach Norv Turner a three-year contract extension on Monday that will keep him with the team through 2013.

Turner has won the AFC West in each of his three seasons in San Diego.

This past season he lead the Chargers to a 13-3 record and the second seed in the AFC playoffs.

His .648 winning percentage is the highest in team history. He also holds the record for most playoff wins in team history with three.

“I’m extremely proud of the job Norv has done with this team,” said Chargers President Dean Spanos in a team statement. “In three seasons he’s led the team to three division titles. I’m confident that if we strengthen our roster and continue to provide Norv the assets he needs, this team will have continued success.”

The Chargers season came to an abrupt end on Sunday when there were upset by the New York Jets.
