As a head coach for 15 years, Panthers offensive coordinator Norv Turner has spent plenty of time on NFL sidelines.

Enough time, apparently.

Turner, lured out of retirement by Ron Rivera this past winner, said he plans to call plays from the press box and would let his son, quarterbacks coach Scott Turner, serve as the on-field, go-between with Cam Newton during games.

“The way we have operated — and Ron and I have had these conversations — I’ve been upstairs and (Scott) is on the field,” Turner said following Thursday’s practice at Wofford.
