Despite all the struggles Texas A&M has endured the past two months, it looks as if Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin got the right guy as his new offensive line coach.
New line coach Jim Turner is a familiar — and welcome — face in Aggieland. During his previous stint as line coach for the Aggies (2008-11), Turner recruited and coached the likes of Jake Matthews, Luke Joeckel and Cedric Ogbuehi. All were first-round draft picks and extremely successful pieces of a dominant Aggie offensive line.
Turner’s recruiting success extends beyond his o-line prowess. He also was the main recruiter on wide receiver Mike Evans, who was better known for his basketball prowess in high school.
