Jim Turner was front and center of one of the NFL most infamous stories in recent years. Turner was a focal point of a bullying scandal during his tenure with the Miami Dolphins. It led to his firing in 2014. He has a reputation for using foul language and making crude jokes to undermine his players. Turner was in a court battler over the matter and ultimately had his name dismissed. During his time with the Texas A&M Aggies, Turner faced a two-week suspension for disgusting and inappropriate jokes towards women.
In a tweet from Bengals beat writer Paul Dehner Jr, it shows Zac Taylor is willing to stand strong on his decision to hire Turner.
