The Facts: Scott Turner's time as interim offensive coordinator of the Panthers has earned him a new opportunity. The Washington Redskins are zeroing in on turner as their offensive coordinator, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported, per a source informed of the situation.
Diehards Line:
Turner found himself calling Carolina's plays following the firing of Ron Rivera and shifting of his father, Norv, to special assistant to the head coach. Scott Turner's offense responded, scoring 44 points and racking up 759 yards of offense in their first two outings following the staff changes. Turner managed to maximize the abilities of Christian McCaffrey, who racked up 310 total yards in those two contests. He'll follow the coach who brought Turner and his father on board with the Panthers to Washington, where Turner will receive his first full-time shot at being an offensive coordinator in the NFL with the development of second-year QB Dwayne Haskins a major part of his job.
