The Carolina Panthers’ latest hire comes with a wealth of connections to the team in addition to his dozen years of NFL coaching experience.
Ron Turner, hired this week as consultant to the coaching staff, is a former Chicago Bears offensive coordinator who will be expected to work closely with the Panthers offense.
“He’s got a wealth of knowledge as a guy who coached at the NFL and college level for a number of years,” head coach Ron Rivera told Panthers.com.
