Matt Rhule will have no shortage of jobs to fill on his Panthers coaching staff. Ron Rivera’s Redskins have already hired a number of Carolina coaches who will be joining him in Washington. That list includes offensive line coach John Matsko, head trainer Ryan Vermillion, special teams assistant Ben Jacobs and linebackers coach Steve Russ.
You can add two more names to that list.
Offensive coordinator Scott Turner will be joining them, per his personal Twitter account. It’s not clear from his post, but Turner has interviewed for and been expected to take the same position with the Redskins.

Turner had a severe handicap at the quarterback position. However, he made some clever calls and showed he knows how to use play-makers during his month of running the offense for the Panthers. In Washington, he will be judged by what he gets out of guys like Dwayne Haskins and Terry McLaurin, who both flashed as rookies despite a poor overall offensive performance.
Defensive line coach Sam Mills III is also joining Rivera’s staff, according to Joe Person at the Athletic.
