Norv Turner, Offensive Coordinator

Norv Turner is another intriguing candidate as he will likely leave the Carolina Panthers after the hiring of Giants original head coaching favorite Matt Rhule.

Turner spent 15 seasons as a head coach for three different teams (Redskins, Raiders, Chargers), going 118-126 and 4-4 in the postseason. He also has 13 years experience as an offensive coordinator and spent the last two seasons in that role for the Panthers with super star running back Christian McCaffrey.

Unlike Pat Shurmur, who often misused Saquon Barkley, Turner was able to get the most out of McCaffrey, who had the fourth-most rushing yards in the league (1,387) with 15 touchdowns. He also led all tailbacks for the second straight year with 116 catches for 1,005 receiving yards and four touchdowns.

Turner helped Phillip Rivers become one of the NFL’s best passers over the course of his time with the Chargers from 2007-2012. Not only could Turner help Jones, he would ultimately utilize Barkley in comparison to the astounding numbers McCaffrey has put up in the past two seasons.
