Turner, the son of former NFL coach Norv Turner, brings considerable coaching experience to the table. Why exactly do the Patriots view him as a potential candidate to take over as their new offensive coordinator and possibly play a major role in helping develop the next franchise quarterback? Let's find out.
Coaching background: After leaving UNLV, Turner joined Oregon State as a graduate assistant in 2005 - the first stop on his 19-year coaching career so far. He left the Beavers after one season and found work as an offensive coordinator at South County High School in Lorton, VA. In two seasons, he helped the Stallions to a combined 12-9 record. In 2008, he returned to the college level as an assistant coach at Pittsburgh: he spent two season as an offensive assistant, and one more as wide receivers coach under head coach Dave Wannstedt as well as offensive coordinators Matt Cavanaugh - a former Patriots second-round quarterback - and Frank Cignetti Jr.
