New-look Browns turn to Turner on offense
CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Browns named Norv Turner their new offensive coordinator on Thursday.
Turner, fired by the Chargers as head coach earlier this month, led San Diego to a 59-43 record in six years with three division titles. He also was head coach of the Washington Redskins (1994-2000) and Oakland Raiders (2004-05).
New Cleveland coach Rob Chudzinski says he expects Turner to make a big impact on that side of the ball, and the Browns can use the help.
Cleveland went 5-11 last year and scored just 302 points in coach Pat Shurmur’s final season. Cleveland also added Mike Sullivan (offensive line), Scott Turner (wide receivers) and Brad Roll (strength) to the staff, and retained Chris Tabor (special teams) and George Warhop (offensive line) from last year.

the browns let rg3 slip through their fingers and now they have let probably the newest, innovative coach to enter the nfl, chip kelly slip through their fingers. i hope chud is successful but i'm not happy. i think that banner and haslam, in their arrogance, let this exciting coach go. they should have fought tooth and nail and opened their checkbooks.
Papa1, what weapons do we have to support Kelly's offense? And not all college coaches are good in the NFL the list is long.
Chip Kelly runs a gimmicky offense that wouldn't translate to the NFL. Good thing he did slip through their fingers. Norm Turner is awful and it figures the Browns give this has been that never was another job.
