The Carolina Panthers have reportedly named Norv Turner as the team's newest offensive coordinator, per Tiffany Blackmon of NFL Network.
As Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Tuesday, Turner was head coach Ron Rivera's initial target when he decided to fire previous coordinator Mike Shula.
Turner was out of football this past season and last coached for the Minnesota Vikings in 2016 before resigning mid-season. Prior to that, he had spent 30 years in the NFL working for a wide variety of teams in several different capacities.
