While Ron Turner is gone from the Bears we wish him no love for wrecking the Illini and also doing nothing for all his years with the Bears, especially during the 2nd half of the 2006 Super Bowl season.
Now he apparently bolts Stanford, before he even “calls” a game, to join the Indianapolis Colts. From the California paper:
Turner, who was a Stanford assistant under Denny Green and then the SJSU head coach, was employed by Stanford for … what was it? … two weeks.
So if you’re interested in coaching Andrew Luck, send your resumes to Harbaugh, James, care of the Stanford athletic department.
Sure, it’s a blow to Stanford’s staff. But not a big one.
Good call. It is like comforting your buddy at a wedding when a total bitch who was going to gain 200 pounds and make his life hell bails out at the last minute… it hurts for 2 seconds, but then it is ALL FOR THE BEST.
Now on to Indy. What the HELL would Indy want with Ron?
Here is an article that says
The Indianapolis Colts have not made an announcement, but the club is adding an assistant to its staff and it’s easy to connect the dots here.
Ex-Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner is leaving Stanford, where he was hired earlier this month as the offensive coordinator, to take a job with the Colts. It is believed Turner will be the wide receivers coach.
The Colts didn’t have an opening on their staff. Speculation is that wide receivers coach/assistant head coach Clyde Christensen will be promoted to offensive coordinator. He took the job last year at this time when Moore retired. Moore wound up returning in the spring, and now he could be departing for good.
The move makes sense for Turner for a few reasons. He has ties at Stanford, and coached there previously, but his family remains in the Midwest and it’s an opportunity to remain in the NFL.
HA HA HA HA HA Indy fans this is our (slight) revenge for whipping us in the 2006 Super Bowl – now you get dopey Ron to foul up your offensive machine. It is impossible for me to foresee how Ron can help you in any way, but it is EASY for me to see how he could make things worse.
Feel free to read through this site or any other news source on the Bears that calls out what a pathetic offensive coordinator Ron is. You must not have access to any sort of news media, or you must be watching some series of parallel universe NFL games on a bizarro world channel where the Bears don’t continually squander all their offensive assets.
Meh, even Turner can’t hurt Indy’s offense. They don’t need any coaches. They just need Peyton to not get injured. That’s their entire gameplan. Make sure Peyton is still standing at the end of every game. The guy has run their offense for at least the last 8 years, there have been no major changes to the scheme in that time. They could hire a monkey and three dinner plates to coach that offense, and it’d still be amongst the NFL’s best as long as Peyton is still able to play.
Still, it’s nice to hope every once in a while… ^_^
DumbRon can/will turn the Colts into the DOLTS if they let him do anything but erase the chalkboard! But maybe he really left to get some offensive continuing education under GURU Peyton Manning. We’ll see…
Hey here is the latest from one of the 4 horsemen, Angelo: He says we don’t really need a vet WR: “…But Angelo believes that bringing in a veteran would hinder the development of the Bears’ promising young receivers.
“When you bring a veteran receiver in—and we learned this a couple years ago when we brought in Brandon Lloyd and Marty Booker—he’s going to take reps,” Angelo said. “Whose reps is he going to take? He’s going to take the young guys’ reps.
What?!?!? The last time I checked we threw the ball about 35 times per game this year. With the Martz system that should stay about the same or increase. Let’s make it easy. If we throw the ball 36x’s/game this year and our WRs caught 55% of all passes last season that’s 20/game. And we rotate 5 WRs (in the new system) that’s 4 targets each per game. But we know your top guys get more targets, so WR1&WR2-10tgts that leaves 10 passes to spread b/w 3 guys so 3 or so targets each. That means that the 3-5 WRs have a chance to all catch 48 balls each this season! That’s not even counting RB and TE balls!!!
For a comparison the Saints WR1 caught 70balls and the next 6 guys caught b/w 35 – 51 balls last season! And that was with Breezy only having 514 attempts on the season and 363 completions(Cutler 555 & 336)! Come-on Jerry or should I say Jelly! You have some shaky logic for not getting a vet WR! I’d feel better if you said, ” We won’t get a vet b/c I’m not confident that our JACKWEED coaches will know how to run the offense so that they are all as productive as possible!!!”
I don’t know maybe one of you guys can explain this shaky Jelly Angelo logic to me. If he keeps this up, we won’t try for Peppers either b/c we have some younger DEs that need reps!!!
