As the QBs coach in Carolina from 2018-19, Turner also handled IOC duties for the Panthers in 2019.
"This league is tough," Turner said after his elevation. "It's very competitive. You got to bring it every day. Different people are going to play you different ways. Certain matchups are going to favor you schematically more than others. But really, it's just dealing with the people. This is a relationship business, and you got to understand what your guys on your team do the best, and then try to find a way to get that out of them and then get them to perform at the highest level every single week."
