Norv Turner, Mike Zimmer split stuns Vikings as Turner quits offensive coordinator's job

Matt Asiata, still dripping after a shower and sporting a white towel around his waist, strolled back into the locker room at Winter Park around 11:30 on Wednesday morning. He seemed puzzled as reporters and cameramen swarmed him.

He had no idea that offensive coordinator Norv Turner had resigned hours earlier.

“I’m speechless. … That’s crazy,” the running back said before apologizing to his wife for being shirtless on TV.

Turner, who had called plays for the Vikings the past three seasons, arrived at Winter Park at 6:30 a.m. Wednesday and walked into Mike Zimmer’s office.
