No Big Surprise- NFL has set their sights on Jim Turner
9 replies
PhinGeneralSupporterOPTurner is beloved by many of his players but also is known for using loud, insulting and profane language with the players.
The NFL is aware of Turner's tactics, which are not unusual for coaches around the league, and wants to speak to him about the culture that existed around Miami's offensive line, sources told ESPN.
Sources in and outside the Dolphins organization said Turner, who has a military background, would "insult, bully and pile it on" Martin, who left the team last week.
You had to figure this was coming. My guess is that Turner will be fired and it obviously wouldn't reflect well on Philbin since he would no doubt have been aware of much of this. It'll be interesting to see what the NFL considers crossing the line and how far over Turner may have gone.
bigbryNew MemberYeah , no surprise here, but I hope he doesn't end up being the fall guy for the others that should go.
maynardNew MemberTurner should be fired, but this article doesn't tell us anything. He is Martin's position coach. Of course he is going to be interviewed

byroanAdministratorTurner's unit has been garbage all year. That alone should have gotten him fired already. This may just speed up the process.
Electric BoogalooForum VeteranIrrespective of him being a mean ole bully or not, his butt should be history. The number of times our Oline has looked clueless about who to block doesn't reflect well on his job performance.

Its probably the only way we'll get rid of him, if Philbin (or anyone else for that matter) hasnt already decided to replace him given how pathetic this line has been all season, then I dont think anything but this investigation will get him fired.

Whatever his language and coaching style i will say he has failed at his job. Big time. Get shot and hire someone that will not get the Dolphins QB hit or sacked for an all time NFL record. I don't agree with Turner if he has to commit to his way of coaching if that what HE thinks it takes. Proof is in the pudding.

I think it does. It basically confirms (although to no big surprise) there are sources inside and outside the Dolphins organization who have said Turner would "insult, bully and pile it on" Martin. It sounds like confirmation that Turner is complicit in this possibly quite beyond what the NFL considers acceptable from a coach.

:lol:
So absurd... more and more ridiculous it gets.
What a bizarre world this is turning into.
RIP Jetssuck
This same garbage has been going on on football fields and practices since the game was invented. To start acting like they didn't know, all of a sudden, is nothing short of hypocritical. I don't approve of the language, but I know it's there. This is all about publicity.............nothing more.
