Cam Turner joins Panthers staff

[CatMan72]

Any relation to Norv Turner? 

 

If so, this may be nothing more than doing Norv a solid.

Why would we do Norv a solid when we asked him to be our OC and he went with Chud to Cleveland?

[Donald LaFell]

Why does everyone assume that Proehl will automatically be a great offensive coordinator? I mean he might be, but how do we know for fact?

 

Based on nostaligia and the "hold my beer" factor I'd support it. We're giving Shula 3 years why not give a long shot 1?

son of Ron Turner, so nephew of Norv and cousin of Scott (who had Cam's job in 2011-12).   Cam was Frazier's assistant until Ron got the FIU job, and left for that job. 

 

Why's that important?  

 

Well, it's not the nepotism that it looks like.  The Turners are deep in Coryell - to say, Norv at one point was its best, and he learned from the guys who brought it along. Norv runs it, Ron runs it.   That's why Butch Davis took it to Miami, which is why Chud, Dorsey coach in it.  Cam and Scott were raised in it.  

 

So not unlike the Scott Turner hire, it's like getting a guy who was brought up from youth in this offense. 

 

It's what Henning ran, which is why Proehl came here (which is why Proehl coaches here), because Martz runs the same frickin' offense.  Which is why saying Shula would be confused watching an offense he more or less grew up in, is to know no history (or the reason for this hire). 

[Growl]

Ugh

leslie frazier is one of Ron's bronies. this isnt a "rising star" hire. it's a "hey Ron why dont you sign my boy here since we're close and all he's lookin for a pro gig"

Everybody knows Norv. Few seem to remember Ron.

Ron was actually pretty good.

[TheSpecial1]

Great!

[ThPantherFan]

Hmm...

 

If Shula sucks next season, what if they promote Proehl to OC? Just a thought.

 

Probably in the back of someones mind.

[Gabeking]

Ricky played in the greatest show on turf. I'm fairly certain Shula would be confused from just watching it.

Yeah let's hire Mike Martz that'll surely fix everything

[Brothergrim427]

Plenty.

Hue Jackson has some WR coaching early in his resume. Terry Robiskie has also done both. Even here with the Panthers, former WR coach Richard Williamson was OC for a while.

Kyle shannahan also

[Mr. Scot]

Yep.

Also I think maybe Ron just likes to have someone from the Turner family on staff

[t96]

Is there still 0 chance Shula gets "reassigned" this offseason?

[TheSpecial1]

 

Cameron Turner enters his second season as an assistant coach with FIU football in 2014 working with the Panthers quarterbacks and wide receivers.
 
In 2011, Cameron joined the Minnesota Vikings as Assistant to Head Coach Leslie Frazier. He spent two years in Minnesota, embracing every preparatory aspect of managing an NFL coaching staff, from administrative details to coaching strategies.

yeah, has his own flaws.  Even looked conservative and stuffy with Lovie.  

 

Which is a thing people don't seem to get when they post "unrelated thing - OK now let's bag on Shula" posts/threads.   Ron's move on the O was in 2012.  That's when they started going ball control and Chud got limited on what he could do.  This offense is more or less what Ron wants.   Just as Lovie Smith somehow hired Mike Martz and then tried to make him conservative.   

 

Fire Shula, whatever, hire Proehl, Ramsdell, reanimate Don Coryell himself, let Hue Jackson berate whoever, but this team will want to do what it's doing.
