Who exactly has he coached up? The main reason our OL got better was Spain dropped out of the sky and XSF came back from injury. What do they have in common? Vets who were already coached up by other teams. Fred Johnson likewise was coached up outside the club and except for Adeniji the current group predate Turner.
Under Turner Michael Jordan has actually gotten worse over time. Calhoun was so bad he only lasted a few snaps. ALL of our linemen need training in proper technique badly.
This is not about Turner's off field stuff - he sucks as a line coach period.
The line looks okay now because of the run game. Does anyone think that when Burrow returns, they will learn their lesson and run the ball more? I just don't see it. Whoever is coaching or playing on the line had better be able to gear things toward an extremely pass-heavy offense. When that time comes, does anyone expect Jim Turner to be able to coach these guys up to be better pass blockers than they were this season? I don't think he's capable. He's here because of his connections, nothing more.
