I never understood the hiring of Jim Turner. Yeah, he got drummed out of the league for playing a part in a strange scandal that made him look bad. That's what people think of when they hear his name.
However, even without the Martin/Incognito storyline, I just don't see a body of work that makes him the guy that you want to bring in to fix your long-suffering line. He's got a tough guy reputation for all of the dumb shit he's done, but the fire-breathing approach hasn't reaped much in the way of results. He's a below average o-line coach that most people never would have heard of if it weren't for the stupid incidents he was a part of that got publicized.
His track record so far in Cincinnati consists of stumping for our incumbent steaming shitpile of a right tackle in free agency and bringing in a dude he coached a long time ago in Miami that had been run out of the league for a year. Yay.
